The National Museum of Anthropology is a Mexican national museum. It is Mexico's largest and most visited museum. The museum is located in Chapultepec Park in Mexico City, between Paseo de la Reforma and Mahatma Gandhi Street. It houses important archaeological and anthropological artifacts from Mexico's pre-Columbian heritage, such as the Stone of the Sun (or the Aztec calendar stone) and the Aztec Xochipilli statue.

The Instituto Nacional de Antropologia e Historia (National Institute of Anthropology and History), or INAH, manages the museum as well as several other national and provincial museums in Mexico. It was one of several museums established in 1964 by Mexican President Adolfo López Mateos. The museum has received mixed reviews, with one critic praising it as "a national treasure and identity sign The museum represents a convergence of ideological, scientific, and political achievements". Octavio Paz attacked the museum's decision to make the Mexica (Aztec) hall the focal point, claiming that the "exaltation and adoration of Mexico-Tenochtitlan converts the Museum of Anthropology into a shrine".
