Schwerin Palace, or Schwerin Castle, built between 1845 and 1857,  is located in the city of Schwerin, the capital of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state in Germany. It is situated on an island in the city's main lake, the Schweriner See.

For centuries the palace was the home of the dukes and grand dukes of Mecklenburg and later Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Today it serves as the residence of the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern state parliament.
