The Walery Rzewuski Museum of the History of Photography in Kraków (Muzeum Historii Fotografii w Krakowie) is a state-run photography museum in Kraków, Poland, established as the only one of its kind a mere three years before the collapse of the Soviet empire.

The museum building is located on Józefitów 16 street in the Krowodrza district (north-west of Kleparz).
