Le musée byzantin et chrétien d'Athènes (en grec moderne : Βυζαντινό και Χριστιανικό Μουσείο) est le principal musée athénien, et l'un des plus importants de Grèce, pour les collections d'art de l'Antiquité tardive et du Moyen Âge byzantin et post-byzantin. Il dépend directement du Directorat général des antiquités rattaché au ministère grec de la Culture. Organisé en deux ailes : l'une pour l'époque byzantine (du IVe siècle à 1453), l'autre pour l'époque post-byzantine (de 1453 au XXe siècle), le musée possède plus de 25 000 objets : sculptures, icônes, fresques murales, céramiques, tissus, manuscrits et mosaïques, provenant de toutes les régions marquées par la culture grecque byzantine.
