Sala Palatului (The Palace Hall) in Bucharest, Romania is a conference centre and concert hall immediately behind the National Museum of Art of Romania, the former royal palace in the heart of the city. It was built between 1959 and 1960, during the communist era. It has been the site of conferences such as the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe, the World Congress on Population, the World Congress on Energy, and the World Congress of the Red Cross. The main hall can hold 4,060 people.

It is now also used as a general conference and convention center and as a concert venue for events such as the George Enescu Festival.

In addition to the main hall, the entrance hall has a surface area of 2,000 m² and is used as an exhibition space. There are also eight small conference rooms for meetings of between 20 and 30 people.
