The Paço de São Cristóvão is a Neoclassical palace in the Quinta da Boa Vista park in the Imperial Neighbourhood of São Cristóvão, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, begun in 1803. It was the residence of the Portuguese and then Brazilian imperial families until 1889, when a coup deposed Emperor Pedro II. It housed most of the National Museum of Brazil's collections until a fire in 2018 largely destroyed the building and its contents. It reopened after restoration in 2025.
