The Palace of Benicarló (officially and in Valencian, Palau de Benicarló, also commonly known as Palau de les Corts Valencianes or Palau dels Borja) is an aristocratic palace of Valencian Gothic and Renaissance styles located in the city of Valencia, Spain. It is now the headquarters of the Valencian Parliament.

The palace was constructed in the 15th century to be the residence of the Borgia family in the capital of the Kingdom of Valencia. The current name honours Joan Pérez de Sanmillán, the Marquis of Benicarló, a Valencian coastal town.
