The Palazzo Barbarigo alla Maddalena is a palace in Venetian Sestiere Cannaregio (Cannaregio 2255), which in the 16th century by the Duodo opposite the Church of San Stae on the left bank of the Grand Canal was built. Later it was acquired by the Barbarigo , who gave the palace its name. The second part of the name refers to the church of Santa Maria Maddalena in Cannaregio .

The building, carefully restored from 2000 to 2001 in the traditional Venetian style, became famous for its mythological frescoes by Camillo Ballini , which have been easy to see since then. Between the trifora and the windows of the Secondo Piano nobile is the coat of arms of the Barbarigo family.

The palace is one of only three of the palaces on the Grand Canal that are still painted.
