The Royal Collections Gallery (Spanish: Galería de las Colecciones Reales), originally named the Royal Collections Museum,[2][3] is an art museum in Madrid. Run by the Spanish state agency Patrimonio Nacional, it is located in a new building above the gardens of the Campo del Moro park and next to the Almudena Cathedral and the Royal Palace.

It is intended for the public exhibition and safekeeping of paintings, sculptures, tapestries, luxury objects, carriages and other artworks and historical pieces from the Spanish royal collection, which is also the main source of artworks for the Museo del Prado and several other museums in Spain.
