Soestdijk Palace (Dutch: Paleis Soestdijk [paːˈlɛi(s) suzˈdɛik]) is a palace formerly belonging to the Dutch royal family. It consists of a central block and two wings.

Although named after the village of Soestdijk, which is largely in the municipality of Soest, the Soestdijk Palace is just north of the border in the municipality of Baarn in the province of Utrecht. It was the home for over six decades of Queen Juliana of the Netherlands and her husband, Prince Bernhard until their deaths in 2004.
