The Oxford University Museum of Natural History, sometimes known simply as the Oxford University Museum, is a museum displaying many of the University of Oxford's natural history specimens, located on Parks Road in Oxford, England. The building was built around 1850. It also contains a lecture theatre which is used by the University's chemistry, zoology and mathematics departments. The University Museum provides the only access into the adjoining Pitt Rivers Museum.

The 1860 Oxford evolution debate occurred here. A commemorative outdoor plinth marks the 150th anniversary of the event. On 21 October 2008 John Lennox and Richard Dawkins had a discussion with the title "Has Science Buried God?" (a title of the Lennox work).
