The Botanical Garden of Adam Mickiewicz University (Ogród Botaniczny Uniwersytetu im. Adama Mickiewicza) is a historic university botanical garden and one of Poznań's largest parks, covering nearly 22 hectares in the Ogrody district of western Poznań, Poland, at ul. Dąbrowskiego 165.

Established in 1925 (originally as a 6-hectare plot in 1922), it is maintained by the Adam Mickiewicz University with support from the City of Poznań and functions as a university-wide scientific, research, and educational unit associated with the Faculty of Biology.

The garden houses approximately 6,000–7,000 taxa of plants from almost all climatic and plant zones on Earth, arranged in ten thematic sections: Dendrology, Ecology, Plant Biology, Plant Geography, Plant Systematics, Rare and Endangered Plants, Water and Marsh Plants, Ornamental Plants, Alpine Garden, and greenhouse collections.

The park includes several greenhouses (not open to the public), a large Alpinarium (rock garden), an Exhibition and Educational Pavilion with an art gallery and café, a historic wooden Summer Pavilion, enormous standing stones, and a ballerina fountain designed by Margaret Węcławska.
