Dadiani Palace (Georgian: დადიანების სასახლეთა ისტორიულ-არქიტექტურული მუზეუმი) is a complex of former princely residences in Georgia. Located in Zugdidi, Samegrelo-Zemo Svaneti region of western Georgia, it currently serves as a museum. Formerly a seat of the Georgian House of Dadiani, it is considered to be one of the most eminent princely residences in the Caucasus. Constructed in the 17th century and renovated in the 19th, the palace is a Neo Gothic building.

The main structure of the complex is known as the Queen's Palace, since it belonged to the Queen Regent of Mingrelia.
