The Natuurhistorisch Museum in Rotterdam is a museum that mainly houses artifacts from natural history and in particular from the animal world.

The Natuurhistorisch Museum was founded in 1927 in the attic of a girls' school in Rotterdam by Anton Boudewijn van Deinse, a Dutch zoologist and university professor who in the early 1900s collected a large collection of marine artifacts. The museum was later forced by the growth of the collection to move to a villa on the Mathenesserlaan, near the Boijmans museum, gaining quite a reputation among the inhabitants of Rotterdam.

In 1959 the museum moved again, this time to a building that housed a bank in Schiebroek, and finally in the 1970s it was incorporated into Diergaarde Blijdorp.
