The Maritime and Historical Museum of the Croatian coast (in Croatian: Pomorski i povijesni muzej Hrvatskog primorja) is a museum in Rijeka, Croatia.

Founded in 1961, the museum is housed in the historic Governor's Palace.

Through permanent exhibitions and collections, the museum offers a picture of the river history and the Croatian coastal region, as well as the maritime tradition of the area. The collections display objects from prehistory to modern times.

The foundation of the museum is linked to an anecdote dating back to May 13, 1775, when Emperor Joseph II of Habsburg-Lorraine visited General Nicolò de Lumage de Millekrona: the sovereign then drank from a cup which, after 100 years, was offered as a gift to his successor Francesco Giuseppe I visiting the city. The emperor, however, declined the gift and suggested instead that the glass be exhibited in the city museum of the city (this object is now exposed in the maritime section).

The Civic Museum of Rijeka was founded in 1883 and in 1949 incorporated the civic museum of Sussak (founded in 1933), being renamed Museum of the Croatian coast (Muzej hrvatskog primorja). In 1953, the museum changed its name to the National Museum (Narodni muzej) and on 21 June 1961 it was merged together with the marine history museum in the current museum. The collections, which previously were in different buildings, were then collected all inside the Governor's Palace.

In 2015, in the municipality of Mattuglie, the decentralized center of the museum was inaugurated in the "Lipa Remembrance" Memorial Center which traces the history of the slaughter of Lippa di Elsane in 1944, a Nazi-fascist massacre in which 269 unarmed civilians, almost all elderly, women were killed and children.
