The '''Blue Palace''' ({{langx|cnr|Плави дворац|Plavi dvorac}}) was built as the heir's palace in [Cetinje](/source/Cetinje), [Montenegro](/source/Montenegro). Today the Blue Palace is the official residence of the [President of Montenegro](/source/President_of_Montenegro).<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20230530203402/https://waytomonte.com/rs/p-3268-blue-palace-in-cetinje Plavi dvorac, Cetinje]}}, waytomonte.com</ref>

It was built in 1894–1895 in late [Empire style](/source/Empire_style) as the residence of [Crown Prince Danilo of Montenegro](/source/Danilo%2C_Crown_Prince_of_Montenegro), then heir-apparent to the throne. The building was a model for the construction of other buildings for the members of the [Petrović-Njegoš dynasty](/source/Petrovi%C4%87-Njego%C5%A1_dynasty) throughout [Montenegro](/source/Montenegro). During the [interwar period](/source/interwar_period) in the [Kingdom of Yugoslavia](/source/Kingdom_of_Yugoslavia), the building housed the [Cetinje Gymnasium](/source/Cetinje_Gymnasium), while in the era of the [Socialist Republic of Montenegro](/source/Socialist_Republic_of_Montenegro) it was converted into a gallery and museum.<ref name="Borba 1991">{{cite web |url=https://istorijskenovine.unilib.rs/view/index.html#panel:pp&#124;issue:UB_00064_19910429&#124;page:1 |title=Плави дворац |trans-title=Blue Palace |author=н.а. |language=sr |publisher=[Borba](/source/Borba_(newspaper)), as archived by the [Belgrade University Library](/source/Belgrade_University_Library) |date=29 April 1991 |access-date=29 August 2025 }}</ref>
