Le palais de Sanssouci ou Sans-Souci (en allemand : Schloss Sanssouci) est l'ancien palais d'été du roi de Prusse Frédéric II (dit Frédéric le Grand). Il est situé à Potsdam, dans le Land du Brandebourg, à vingt-six kilomètres au sud-ouest de Berlin. Il fut bâti entre 1745 et 1747 par l'architecte Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff dans un style issu du rococo, que l'on nomme rococo frédéricien. Il est également renommé pour ses fabriques, ses jardins et les autres extravagances du parc de Sanssouci, attenant à l'édifice.
