The Royal Villa (Italian: Villa Reale) is a historical building in Monza, Northern Italy. It lies on the banks of the Lambro river, surrounded by the large Monza Park, one of the largest enclosed parks in Europe.

The Royal Villa, also called the Palace of Monza, is a neoclassical palace built by the Habsburgs as a private residence during the Austrian domination of the 18th century. It became the residence of the viceroy with the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy and during the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia, but it lost this function during the Kingdom of Italy of the House of Savoy, the last royals to use it.

The Royal Villa was abandoned by the royal family following the murder of King Umberto I in Monza on 29 July 1900 by anarchist Gaetano Bresci. Nowadays, it hosts exhibitions; a wing hosts also the Artistic High School of Monza.
