The Sir Robert Ho Tung Library (Biblioteca Sir Robert Ho Tung, 何東圖書館) is a public library of the Macao Public Library system on St. Augustine's Square, in the Historic Centre of Macau, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is housed in a mansion built before 1894 and once owned by Dona Carolina Cunha, which the Hong Kong businessman Sir Robert Ho Tung bought in 1918 as a retreat.

Ho Tung lived in the mansion from 1941 to 1945, during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong. After his death in 1955 the building passed to the government under his will to become a public library, which opened to the public in 1958. In 2005 a new building was added by the mansion's back garden, making it the biggest public library in Macau; the old building holds the library system's head office on its ground floor.
