[FIN] Forum Marinum on Turussa IX kaupunginosassa sijaitseva merenkulun valtakunnallinen vastuumuseo ja meripuolustuksen museo sekä toiminnallinen merikeskus. Se sijaitsee Aurajoen varrella Turun sataman tuntumassa sijaitsevissa vanhoissa Osuuskaupan ja valtion varastorakennuksissa Linnanpuomissa ja Kruununmakasiinissa. Museo syntyi vuonna 1977 perustetun Turun merenkulkumuseon ja vuonna 1936 perustetun Åbo Akademin Merihistoriallisen museon yhdistyessä, ja se avattiin vuonna 1999. Forum Marinumin tiloissa toimii edelleen Åbo Akademin merihistorian laitos.
