The Bardo National Museum (Arabic: المتحف الوطني بباردو, romanized: el-Metḥef el-Waṭanī bi-Bārdū; French: Musée national du Bardo) or Bardo Palace is an arts and North African history museum in Le Bardo, Tunisia. It is one of the most important museums in the Mediterranean region and the second largest museum in Africa after the Egyptian Museum of Cairo. It traces the history of Tunisia over several millennia and across several civilizations through a wide variety of archaeological pieces.
First proposed in the 1860s by Muhammad Khaznadar, the son of the Prime Minister of Tunisia, the museum has been housed in an old beylical palace since 1888. Originally called the Alaoui Museum (Arabic: المتحف العلوي, romanized: al-Matḥaf al-ʿAlawī), named after the reigning bey at the time, it was renamed as the Bardo Museum after the independence of the country.

The French protectorate of Tunisia that was established lasted until the independence of Tunisia on 20 March 1956.
