Вестмінстерський палац – будівля на берегу Темзи у лондонському районі Вестмінстер, де відбуваються засідання Британського парламенту. Він поєднується з Трафальгарською площею вулицею Уайтхолл.
Раніше (до 1529 р.) палац слугував столичною резиденцією англійських королів. Після пожежі 1834 року його відновлено за неоготичним проектом Ч. Баррі та А. У. П’юджина. Від середньовічного палацу залишилися лише Вестмінстерська зала прийомів (1097) і башта Коштовностей (збудована для зберігання казни Едуарда Ш).
У палаці 1200 приміщень, 100 сходів і більше кілометра коридорів. Серед башт палаца найбільш відома часовня – Біг Бен. В 1987 р. палац та церкву святої Маргарити (1486-1523), що розміщена поруч, визнали гідними Списку всесвітнього спадку.
