The Artuklu Palace or Artukid Palace or Artuqid Palace (Artuklu Sarayı) was the seat of the Diyarbakır branch of the Artuqid dynasty, a Turkish Beylik that ruled eastern Anatolia and Al-Jazira in the 12th and 13th centuries. It was located in the İçkale (citadel) of the historic walled district of Diyarbakır. Partially excavated in the 1960s, the main body of the palace is today still buried under a mound.
