The Normandie Hotel is a historic hotel located in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Opened on October 10, 1942, its design was inspired by the art deco ocean liner SS Normandie. The hotel's roof sign is one of the two signs that adorned the top deck of the Normandie, removed from the liner during an early refitting. The hotel is a fine example of what came to be known as the Streamline Moderne architecture style. The hotel closed in 2009.

The Normandie Hotel has been declared a national historic site and was added to the National Register of Historic Places by the U.S. Interior Department's Heritage Conservation and Recreation Service on August 29, 1980.
