Kounic's palace, Renaissance Revival palace in Brno-město, Czech Republic.

Kounic's palace is a Renaissance Revival building with historicist design elements in Brno-město. The pentagon-shaped structure sits at the intersection of Žerotínovo náměstí and Moravské náměstí, blending ornate facades with contemporary university functions.

Built in 1871–1873 as a rental house for Count Albrecht of Kounic, designed by Karel Exner and executed by Josef Arnold. On 12 May 1908 Václav Robert Count of Kounic gave it to the Association of Czech University Students; unsuitable for dormitories, it was rented out and the proceeds funded the Kounic dormitories (1923) and the Girls' House (1931).

The palace carries the name of the Kounic family, whose coat of arms with winged goddesses Nike decorates the portals on Brandlova Street and Moravské náměstí. On 1 May 1920 a student canteen opened in the building, serving poor Brno university students.

The palace forms a block between Žerotínovo náměstí, Moravské náměstí and Brandlova Street, with a pentagonal courtyard open from Moravské náměstí and Brandlova. A modern entrance of grey and black marble was cut on the Žerotínovo náměstí side. It houses Masaryk University's rectorate, so expect working offices rather than a museum.

The palace was never suited to house students, so it stayed a rental apartment building and the rent money paid for new dormitories: the Kounic Student Dormitories in 1923 and the Girls' House in 1931. A student canteen opened inside on 1 May 1920.
