The Rhode Island Computer Museum is a vintage computer museum located in Warwick, Rhode Island, United States. The museum's Learning Lab and display space are in the lower level of the La-Z-Boy building at 1755 Bald Hill Road, Warwick, RI 02886. The museum's warehouse is in Bldg 310 Compass Circle, Suite C, North Kingstown.[1] With technology’s rapid transformation, the rich history of the development of computers and digital technology can easily get lost, and the museum aims to preserve this history[2] to inspire young people with an interest in technology.

The official purpose of the museum is “procuring and preserving whatever relates to computer science and its history, disseminating knowledge, and encouraging research in computer science by means of visits, lectures, discussions, and publications.”[3]
