Leonel Trindade Municipal Museum, Archaeological museum in Torres Vedras, Portugal.

The Leonel Trindade Municipal Museum occupies a former convent building on the southern side of Torres Vedras, displaying archaeological and historical objects across eight exhibition rooms. The collection spans multiple periods, from early human settlements to artifacts from military conflicts and religious life.

Founded in 1929 as a museum of history, archaeology and prehistory, it was first housed in rooms attached to the church of São Pedro. In 1944 it moved to the headquarters of the Santa Casa da Misericórdia, and in 1969 Leonel Trindade became director. The permanent exhibition opened at the Graça Convent in 1992, and in 2007 the municipality named the museum after Trindade.

The museum is named after Leonel Trindade (1903–92), the archaeologist who directed it from 1969 and discovered the Chalcolithic fortified settlement of Zambujal. In the convent's ground-floor cloister, azulejo panels from 1725 depict the life of Frei Aleixo de Meneses, prior of the convent in the 1590s.

The museum is located in the Santa Maria, São Pedro e Matacães parish and provides partial wheelchair access to its exhibition spaces. Some areas may be more difficult to reach, particularly in older sections of the building.

The archaeological collection holds stone tools from local sand dunes dating to the late Palaeolithic period, a discovery many visitors overlook. These findings reveal early human presence in the region long before larger settlements developed.
