Sibu Heritage Centre is a museum and heritage centre located on Jalan Central in Sibu, Sarawak, housed in the former Sibu Municipal Council building. It showcases the history and cultural heritage of Sibu and the central Sarawak region, with exhibits on early settlement, ethnic communities including Iban, Malay, Melanau and Chinese, and local development. The centre is notable for its central town location and its role in preserving Sibu's multicultural history.

Visitors can expect a compact museum inside a historic former municipal building in central Sibu. The interior features permanent exhibition galleries with photographs, artefacts, dioramas and interpretive panels covering Sibu's early history, river settlement, and the cultural traditions of its major ethnic groups. The setting is air-conditioned and walkable, suitable for self-guided viewing and photography in permitted areas, located within walking distance of the town centre and waterfront.

The centre is housed in the former Sibu Municipal Council building constructed in the early 1960s. The building served as the administrative centre for the municipality before being converted into a heritage centre to preserve and present the history of Sibu and the Rejang Basin, including early Foochow settlement and riverine development.

The centre presents the multicultural heritage of Sibu, highlighting the traditions, crafts, and histories of the Iban, Malay, Melanau and Chinese communities that shape the town's identity. It serves as an educational resource on local cultural diversity and settlement history in central Sarawak.
