Tun Abdul Ghafar Baba Memorial (Malay: Memorial Tun Abdul Ghafar Baba) is a museum in Peringgit, Malacca, Malaysia, which commemorates the life of Abdul Ghafar Baba,[1] who was the Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia from 1986 to 1993 and the Chief Minister of Malacca from 1959 to 1967. Constructed in 1956 and served as Ghafar Baba's residence when he was the chief minister of the state, the building was converted into a memorial and was opened to the public on 28 February 2006.[2]

The memorial is divided into two exhibition halls. The lower hall displays most of his personal belongings during his tenure as Chief Minister of Malacca, Minister and Deputy Prime Minister. The upper hall displays his various souvenirs, photos, books, television set, furniture and fittings that were used by him and his family.
