The Mallick Bari is an erstwhile Zamindari palace or rajbari located in the district of Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal, India. At present, the rajbari is one of Midnapore's most prominent heritage sites. Constructions commenced under Midnapore's then Zamindar Janmenjay Mallick, several hundred years ago. In 1922, estate administration was taken over by the Court of Wards. Swapan Dasgupta has suggested that the estate's extent included areas of modern day Kharagpur, Debra, Moyna, Daspur, Midnapur, Narsingarh, Bhagwanpur, Patashpur, Dantan and Binpur.
