Der Maruhubi-Palast (Maruhubi Palace Ruins) liegt an der Küste Sansibars, 3 km nördlich der weltberühmten Altstadt Stone Town, einem Teil der Hauptstadt Sansibar-Stadt.

1882 für Sultan Barghash (Sultan von Sansibar von 1870 bis 1888) errichtet, brannte der Palast 1899 fast vollständig aus. Bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt lebte der 99 Frauen zählende Harem des Sultans in diesem Palast. Neben den Grundmauern und meterhohen Steinsäulen sind als einzige Gebäudeteile die zwei Badehäuser erhalten geblieben.
