The Podgorica Royal Palace (Montenegrin: Дворац Петровића) is a historic royal residence in Podgorica, Montenegro. It was built in between 1891 and 1894 by King Nikola I Petrović-Njegoš as a winter residence for the Montenegrin royal family. During the Balkan Wars the buildings were converted into a hospital, a function they served for decades.

Today, the palace forms part of the Petrović complex, which houses the Petrović Palace Contemporary Art Centre, an exhibition space of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Montenegro. The palace itself serves as the seat of the Petrovich Njegosh Foundation, presided over by pretender crown prince Nicholas.
