Palermo is a barrio (neighbourhood or district) of Montevideo, Uruguay. It borders Barrio Sur to the west, Cordón to the north and Parque Rodó to the east, while to the south it borders the coastline.

Politically located in Municipality B of Montevideo, it is together with Barrio Sur the center of the Uruguayan carnival and a melting pot of different cultures since the end of the 19th century.[1] Named after the Italian city Palermo, it is the site of the headquarters of the Latin American Integration Association (ALADI) and the Embassy of the United States.
