The Museum of Modern Literature ({{langx|de|Literaturmuseum der Moderne}}, LiMo) is part of the German Literature Archive ({{lang|de|Deutsches Literaturarchiv}}) in Marbach am Neckar, Germany. The museum won its architect the Stirling Prize in 2007.

Designed by British architect David Chipperfield and constructed at a cost of €10 million by Leonard Weiss GmbH, with engineering by Ingenieurgruppe Bauen, the museum opened in September 2006. It stands on a rock plateau in Marbach's scenic park, overlooking the valley of the Neckar River. It displays and archives 20th-century literature. Notable original manuscripts include The Trial by Franz Kafka and {{lang|de|Berlin Alexanderplatz}} by Alfred Döblin.
