The Museo de Bellas Artes de Córdoba is an art museum in Córdoba, Andalusia, Spain, that preserves and exhibits works of fine art relevant to the province and region. Its collections cover paintings, sculptures and decorative arts spanning several centuries.

Exhibits feature regional and Spanish artworks with attention to local artistic traditions and historical schools; display galleries are arranged to highlight paintings and sculptural works from different periods. The museum houses permanent collections and temporary exhibitions on art-historical themes.

The museum’s collections were assembled from provincial holdings, donations and transfers of ecclesiastical and private art, and the institution has developed through 19th- and 20th-century museum practices to serve cultural preservation in Córdoba.

Situated in the historic city of Córdoba in Andalusia, the museum is accessible from the city center and is part of Córdoba’s cultural itinerary, near other historic sites in the provincial capital.

By train: Córdoba’s main station is within walking distance of the historic center; local buses serve the museum area. By car: Central Córdoba has limited parking; use public parking lots and walk into the old town.

• Seek out guided tours that highlight the museum's Andalusian collections - local curators often emphasize regional artists omitted from larger Spanish surveys.
• Check the museum's temporary exhibition schedule for rotating shows of contemporary regional painters.
• Combine with a walk through Córdoba's old town to see the contrasts between ecclesiastical art and local modernism.
