The Maulana Azad Central Library is a public library located in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India. Established in 1908 by Sultan Jahan Begum, the then Nawab of Bhopal, the library was originally known as the Edward Museum. In 1955, it was renamed in honor of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, India's first Minister of Education. The library is housed in a red sandstone structure, exemplifying early 20th-century Indo-Islamic architecture, and was declared a protected monument under the Archaeological Sites and Remains Act in 2012.
