The Saab Car Museum (Swedish: Saab Bilmuseum) is an automobile museum located in Trollhättan, Sweden, dedicated to showcasing the legacy of the Saab automobile brand, produced under various ownerships since 1947.
Situated within a former factory building at Template:Interlanguage link multi, a technology and science center on the site of the old NOHAB industrial complex in Trollhättan, the museum reflects the region's industrial heritage.
Around 120 vehicles make up the museum’s collection. In January 2012, Swedish law firm Delphi planned to auction these cars publicly on January 20 to help cover debts resulting from Saab’s bankruptcy. However, the entire collection was secured through a $4.15 million bid jointly submitted by the city of Trollhättan, Saab AB, and the Marcus and Amalia Wallenberg Foundation.
Under the curatorship of Peter Bäckström, the museum continues to welcome visitors and regularly organizes festivals and events.
