Telangana State Archaeology Museum or Hyderabad Museum is a museum located in Hyderabad, India. It is the oldest museum in Hyderabad.

Archaeologist Henry Cousens first explored the site in the beginning of the 19th century, and around 1940 the mound was excavated under the supervision of Nizam of Hyderabad. The excavated items were placed in a museum built on the ancient site. In 1952, the museum's contents were moved to the current building, under the administrative control of Archaeological Survey of India.

In 1930, (Nizam VII) Mir Osman Ali Khan, who wanted to preserve the Hyderabad's state's heritage, had named the museum as Hyderabad Museum.
