  • Japanese: 名護 博物館 (Nago hakubutsukan)

The Nago Museum is a local history museum located on the former grounds of the Nago banjo, the Ryukyu Kingdom's local administrative office in Nago, in northern Okinawa Island.

A statue of 17th-18th century scholar-official Tei Junsoku is located in the plaza in front of the museum, along with a stone inscribed with the "Six Courses in Morals." A group of fukugi (Garcinia subelliptica) trees surrounding the museum are among the tallest on the island, and are believed to have been planted roughly 300 years ago by jitûdee Yabe Kikuin.
