The Kolowrat Palace ({{langx|cs|Kolowratský palác}}) is a Baroque complex of two Gothic buildings, located at Ovocný trh 4 a 6 in the Old Town part of the Prague 1 district in Prague, Czech Republic.

The palace belongs to the Kolowrat family. The family bought the first building in 1670 and the second one in 1697.[http://www.kolowrat.cz/en/the-kolowrat-palace The Kolowrat Palace - Kolowratek]. Retrieved 30/11/2016 The original vaults from the early Baroque period are located on the ground floor, and the rooms on the first floor are decorated with Baroque painted-wood ceilings.

Around 1948, the palace was nationalized by the government, but after the Velvet Revolution in 1989, the property was returned to the family. In 1993, Count Jindrich Kolowrat-Krakowsky (1897–1996) rented out the palace to the National Theatre for a symbolic annual amount of one Czech koruna.[http://www.kolowrat.cz/en/the-kolowrat-palace The Kolowrat Palace - Kolowratek].
