Museum Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II adalah museum di kota Palembang, Sumatera Selatan, Indonesia. Museum ini didirikan di bekas bangunan rumah residen kolonial Sumatera Selatan abad ke-19. Bangunan ini juga menjadi gedung dinas pariwisata Palembang.

Lokasi museum ini awalnya adalah lokasi Kuta Lama, istana tua Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin I (1724–1758), penguasa Kesultanan Palembang.
