Quṣūr al-Fuṭa (Arabic: قصور الفوطة, romanized: Quṣūr al-Fuṭa) were a group of five palaces in the al-Futa district of Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. They were built for five sons of King 'Abd al-'Aziz Ibn Saud when they reached the age of marriage. The King ordered the palaces to be built in 1942.
The palaces were located in the Al Fouta neighbourhood, a short distance south of Murabba Palace. An early photograph by Tommy Walters of ARAMCO was published by Facey in his book Riyadh, the Old City.
