The Royal Tyrrell Museum is a Canadian tourist attraction and a centre of palaeontological research. Located 6 kilometres northwest from Drumheller, Alberta and 135 kilometres northeast from Calgary.

The Royal Tyrrell Museum is operated by Alberta's Ministry of Culture.

The museum is dedicated to exhibits in a series of chronological galleries celebrating the 3.9-billion-year-history of life on Earth. One of the most popular is "Dinosaur Hall", with over 40 mounted dinosaur skeletons, including specimens of Tyrannosaurus rex, Albertosaurus, Stegosaurus and Triceratops.

Other exhibits include a gallery of some of the most dangerous theropods known from Alberta, "Burgess Shale", a diorama of dozens of creatures from Yoho National Park in British Columbia.
