The Liechtenstein Palace (German: Schloss Liechtenstein) is a neoclassical palace near Maria Enzersdorf (and Mödling) in Lower Austria, bordering Vienna. It is on the edge of the Vienna Woods (German: Wienerwald). It stands opposite south of Liechtenstein Castle, the ancestral seat of and place of origin of the House of Liechtenstein, the ruling family of the Principality of Liechtenstein. Prince Johann I of Liechtenstein (1760–1836) built the neoclassical palace in Biedermeier style at the start of the 19th century as one of the princely summer residences. In the aftermath of World War II, the palace fall into ruins and has been sold by the princely family.

Today, the palace (exterior) has been reconstructed and serves as a retirement centre.
