Aberdeen Maritime Museum is a maritime museum in Aberdeen, Scotland.

The museum is situated on the historic Shiprow in the heart of the city, near the harbour.[1] It makes use of a range of buildings including the former Trinity Congregational Church, which was converted to be used as an extension of the museum,[2] and Provost Ross' House, one of the oldest domestic buildings in the city.[3]

The museum tells the story of the city's long relationship with the North Sea. Its collections cover shipbuilding, fast sailing ships, fishing and port history, and displays on the North Sea oil industry.[2]
