The Guggenheim Guadalajara is an art museum proposed by the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. If constructed, the 24-story tower designed by architect Enrique Norten is scheduled to be completed in 2011.

The museum's construction was scheduled to start in 2007, but problems with the foundation delayed the start until 2008. When completed, due to its structure and the ecological materials used to built it, the museum will be the most expensive Guggenheim constructed so far.
