Hüseyin Rahmi Gürpınar Museum ({{langx|tr|Hüseyin Rahmi Gürpınar Müzesi}}) is a historic house museum dedicated to the writer Hüseyin Rahmi Gürpınar in Istanbul, Turkey.
The museum is situated on Heybeliada in the Princes' Islands in Istanbul.
Hüseyin Rahmi Gürpınar (1864–1944) was a writer specialized in daily life of Istanbul, mostly in a humorous way. During the 1912-1944 period, he lived on Heybeliada. His house is situated on top of a hill overlooking the Marmara Sea. After his death, the house was handed over to various museum authorities with the intention of establishing a historic house museum. For over half a century, it was neglected. Finally, the building was converted into a museum by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism with the support of Adalar Municipality. It was opened to visits in 2000.[http://www.istanbul.net.tr/istanbul-Rehberi/istanbul-muzeleri/huseyin-rahmi-gurpinar-muze-evi/120/4 İstanbul guide {{in lang|tr}}][http://www.milliyet.com.tr/-magazin-1398602/ Milliyet newspaper {{in lang|tr}}]
In 2013, Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality tried to convert the museum into a training center.[https://www.viralmecmua.com/huseyin-rahmi-gurpinar-muzesi-ni-geri-istiyoruz-/haberdetay/502114/default.htm Online magazine {{in lang|tr}}]{{Dead link|date=August 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} Upon public protests, its status remained unchanged.
