The Jardin Botanique de Bordeaux is the historical municipal botanical garden in Bordeaux, France, located inside the Jardin Public at Place Bardineau.

Although its origins trace back to 1629 with Bordeaux's first medicinal garden, the current botanical garden dates to 1858 and covers 0.5 hectares. It houses more than 3,000 plant species, including native plants from the Aquitaine region and exotic species from North America, China, and Japan, organized as a systematic scientific collection.

The garden also maintains a seed collection of 2,000 taxa and an herbarium with about 85,000 specimens. Beyond its scientific role in plant conservation and research, it serves as an educational and recreational space where visitors can relax while observing diverse plant life, making it a green oasis in the heart of Bordeaux.
