Tekirdağ Museum of Archaeology and Ethnography (Turkish: Tekirdağ Arkeoloji ve Etnografya Müzesi), shortly Tekirdağ Museum, is a national museum in Tekirdağ, Turkey, exhibiting archaeological artifacts found in and around the province, as well as ethnographical items related to the region's history of cultural life.

Established in 1967, the museum was housed in a small building of the Physical Education Administration until 1977. In 1976, the mansion of Tekirdağ Peovince Governor (Turkish: Valikonağı) was assigned to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism for the use as museum. The museum, as it is today, was opened to public at this building on December 28, 1992.^[1]

The museum building has two main stories, in addition a basement, a loft and a garden. Exhibitions are on display in a hall at ground floor, at loft and open-air in the garden with five-level terraces. In the museum, archaeological funds from the Early Bronze Age (3000-2500 BCE), Late Bronze Age (2000-1200 BCE) and Early Iron Age (1400-1000 BCE), as well as from the Hellenistic, Ancient Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman periods are on display. The etnographical section exhibits diverse items used by the residents of the region during the Ottoman times and later to give an example of their historic lifestyle.^[1]
