The Palais Rothschild is a palace in Vienna. It is located at Metternichgasse 8 in the 3rd Viennese district of Landstraße. The building is also known as Palais Springer, as it was owned by the Springer family before the Rothschild family.

The palace was built from 1891 to 1893 according to designs by architects Armand Bauqué and Albert Pio for Baron Othon de Bourgoing. De Bourgoing had already commissioned Bauqué and Pio to build the Palais Bourgoing at Metternichgasse 12 in 1890. Today, the Palais Rothschild houses an external branch of the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.
