The Memorial Museum of Victims of Political Repression (Mongolian: Улс төрийн хилс хэрэгт хэлмэгдэгсдийн дурсгалын музей) was a museum in Ulaanbaatar dedicated to the victims of political repressions in Mongolia from 1922 to 1962. The museum was housed in the former residence of Mongolian prime minister Peljidiin Genden, a wooden structure built in 1928 by a German engineer named Goring.[1] The museum was opened on 10 September 1996 by the initiative of Gendengiin Tserendulam, daughter of the former primer minister.

The museum was demolished in 2019 and a 22-storey office block was erected in its place.[2]
