The Fundación Pilar i Joan Miró (Pilar and Joan Miró Foundation) is a museum in Palma, Majorca dedicated to the work of the artist Joan Miró. It comprises a main building exhibiting works donated by the artist, a library, a sculpture garden, Miró's studio Sert, and the Finca Son Boter.

Miró's mother and wife were from Majorca. He settled on the island in 1956. The studio Sert was designed for Miró by Josep Lluís Sert in the same year and was used by the artist until his death in 1983. In 1959 Miró bought the nearby Finca Son Boter which he also used as an atelier; his graffiti on the walls can still be seen. The foundation was created in 1981 by Joan Miró and his wife Pilar Juncosa. The museum, designed by Rafael Moneo, was built in 1992.
