Qaṣr 'Atīqa (Arabic: قصرعتيقة, romanized: Qaṣr ʿAtīqa, lit. 'Atiqa Palace') was a fortified palace near Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. It was one of the earliest palaces erected outside the old town. The palace was built in 1922 and served as the residence of Muhammad bin Abdul Rahman Al Saud, a brother of King ʾAbd al-ʿAzīz Ibn Saud. The building stood near Wadi Hanifa, not far from the current mosque of Muhammad bin Abdulrahman bin Faiṣal Al Saud.
