Jal Mahal is a palace located in the middle of the Man Sagar Lake in Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. It was originally constructed around 1699 and later renovated and enlarged in the early 18th century by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Amber. The palace is an architectural showcase of the Rajput style of architecture on a grand scale. The building has a picturesque view of Man Sagar Lake and the surrounding Nahargarh hills.

The eastern side is not visible from the road side public promenade, which is the Western side of the palace. The additional lower levels of the eastern side remain underwater when the lake is full. The palace has suffered subsidence in the past and also partial seepage because of waterlogging, which have been repaired under a restoration project of the Government of Rajasthan.
