Das National Building Museum, in Washington, D.C., ist das nationale Architekturmuseum der Vereinigten Staaten.

Es wurde durch ein Gesetz von 1980 gegründet und wird als private Non-profit Organisation betrieben. Das Museum im ehemaligen Pension Bureau Building steht in der Nähe vom National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial und der Metrostation Judiciary Square ( 401 F Street NW). Das Pension Bureau Building (1887) ist ein von General Montgomery C. Meigs entworfenes Backsteingebäude.
