Kaucminde Manor (German: Gut Kauzminde/Kauzmünde) is a manor house, also referred as palace due to it design, in the historical region of Zemgale, in Latvia.

History
The manor house was built around 1780 for Count Peter Ludwig von der Pahlen by Danish-born architect Severin Jensen. A project to attach the manor house to the adjacent buildings was completed in 1912, so the semi-circular complex is also called Kaucminde Palace.
