The Baroque Revival or Neo-baroque was an architectural style movement in the early 20th century. The term is used to describe architecture which displays important aspects of Baroque style, but is not from the Baroque period proper—i.e., the 17th and 18th centuries.

Some examples of Neo-baroque architecture:

• The Akasaka Palace in Tokyo, Japan
• The Alferaki Palace in Taganrog, Russia
• The Ashton Memorial in Lancaster, England
• The Beloselsky-Belozersky Palace in Saint Petersburg, Russia
• The Bode Museum in Berlin, Germany

• The St. John Cantius church in Chicago, United States
• The Széchenyi Medicinal Bath in Budapest, Hungary

• The former royal palace, today the National Art Gallery of Bulgaria in Sofia, Bulgaria
• Wenckheim Palace, Budapest, Hungary
