Banski dvori (pronounced [bâːnskiː dvɔ̌ːri], Ban's Court) is a historical building on the west side of St. Mark's Square in Zagreb, Croatia. It served as the official residence of the Croatian Bans (viceroys) and is currently occupied by the Croatian Government.

The Banski dvori is a two-story baroque building constructed by Ignaz Gyulai in the first half of the 19th century. It was the residence of Croatian bans from 1809 to 1918, hence the name banski dvori ("palace of the ban"). During this period it housed the Tabula Banalis and later the Royal Court Table. Ban Josip Jelačić, for whom Ban Jelačić Square is named, was a resident of Banski dvori.

During World War II and the Independent State of Croatia (1941-1945) it served as office of Poglavnik Ante Pavelić and was called Poglavnikovi dvori (Poglavnik's Residence).

From 1945 to 1991, the period of the SFR Yugoslavia, the Banski dvori was the official residence of the Presidency of the Socialist Republic of Croatia. In May 1990 it became the official residence of the Croatian government.
