The Toyohashi City Museum of Art and History (豊橋市美術博物館, Toyohashi-shi Bijutsu Hakubutsukan) is a purpose-built municipal art museum and local cultural museum in Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture, Japan. It opened in 1979.
The permanent collections of the museum are concentrated around five themes:

- Cultural artifacts from Edo period and Meiji period sericulture and daily articles.
- Ceramics from the Edo and Meiji periods used for serving sake (collection of Tadashi Tsukasa).
- Documents from the Edo period from the local Ōkōchi clan.
