The Wittockiana, Museum of Book Arts and Bookbinding in Brussels (French: Wittockiana, Musée des arts du livre et de la reliure à Bruxelles; Dutch: Wittockiana, Museum van de Boekkunst en het Boekbinden te Brussel), formerly known as Bibliotheca Wittockiana, is a public museum and library in Woluwe-Saint-Pierre, a municipality of Brussels, Belgium, devoted to the arts of the book and of bookbinding.

The museum is based on the personal collection of Michel Wittock, a former entrepreneur and bibliophile, who donated his collection to the King Baudouin Foundation in 2010.[1] The library was opened to the public in 1983. The Wittockiana is supported by the French Community of Belgium.[2]
