Fishbourne Roman Palace is in the village of Fishbourne, Chichester in West Sussex.

The rectangular palace surrounded formal gardens, the northern parts of which have been reconstructed. Extensive alterations were made in the 2nd and 3rd centuries when many of the original black and white mosaics were overlaid with more sophisticated coloured work, including the perfectly preserved dolphin mosaic in the north wing.
