'''Tiškevičiai Palace''' is a former residential palace in [[Vilnius Old Town]], near the intersection of Trakų and Pylimo streets.
There have been masonry buildings on the site since the 15th century. The Baroque mansion was designed by [[Laurynas Gucevičius]] for the [[Karpiai]]  noble family in the 18th century.
The palace owes its name to the [[Tyszkiewicz family|Tiškevičiai]] (Tyszkiewicz) noble family who commissioned [[Tomas Tyšeckis]] to reconstruct the building in 1840.<ref>[http://www.straipsniai.lt/daile/puslapis/2718 Vilniaus Tiškevičių rūmai] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131103092551/http://www.straipsniai.lt/daile/puslapis/2718 |date=2013-11-03 }} {{in lang|lt}}</ref>
