Hedemora gammelgård is a local museum in Hedemora, Dalarna County, Sweden, located at the Badelundaåsen slope towards lake Hönsan.

The museum was established June 12, 1915, which is one year before the national association for farmstead museums, Sveriges hembygdsförbund was established.

The museum consists of buildings from the surrounding area and resembles a typical farmstead in Dalarna of the 18th century. The oldest building is a threshing barn built in 1679 and moved to Hedemora gammelgård in 1920. The first building moved to the museum, in 1908, was a residential building called Storstugan. Altogether the museum consists of twelve buildings, excluding the restrooms, of which eight were present at the opening 1915.
