The Dessau Palace in Dessau in the German state of Saxony-Anhalt was a princely palace which mostly served as the main residence of the princes of Anhalt-Dessau and later the Dukes of Anhalt. The palace was one of the first renaissance buildings in the middle of Germany. Today, there is only one wing remaining, the 'Johannbau, which offers room to the City History Museum of Dessau.

A four winged palace was constructed in the start of the 16th century on the place of burnt down castle. Under the architect Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff the palace was changed into an 18th-century three-winged palace.
