The Qasr Al-Eini Museum is a historical medical museum in Cairo, Egypt.
The Museum covers the history of medicine in the Arabic Mashriq region of the Levant, and the historical role played by the Qasr Al-Eini School of Medicine as a linkage between medicine in pharaonic Egypt and modern medicine.
It is the first Museum of an Arab University of Medicine, the Kasr El Aini Hospital, and represents the oldest University of Medicine in the Orient, the Qasr Al-Eini School of Medicine. The Qasr Al-Eini Museum's first phase of building opened in 1998, and a further section opened in 1999.
