The Macao Science Center also known as Macau Science Center (MSC; {{zh|t=澳門科學館}}; {{langx|pt|Centro de Ciência de Macau}}) is a science center in Sé, Macau, China.

The main building has a distinctive, asymmetrical, conical shape with a spiral walkway and a large atrium inside. Galleries lead off the walkway, mainly consisting of interactive exhibits aimed at science education.

There is also a planetarium with 3D projection facilities and Omnimax films.

The building is in a prominent position by the sea and is now a landmark of Macau. It is visible when arriving on the ferry from Hong Kong.
