Pałac Seif (arabski, قصر السيف) to pałac w mieście Kuwejt w Kuwejcie. Położony naprzeciwko Wielkiego Meczetu, jedną z najbardziej znanych cech Pałacu Seif jest wieża strażnicza, pokryta niebieskimi płytkami i z dachem pokrytym czystym złotem. Do jej budowy wykorzystano lokalne materiały, takie jak glina, skały, wapień, drewno i metale.
Budowę rozpoczęto w 1904 roku, a w latach 1909, 1964 i 1987 wieża była odnawiana.
Podczas pierwszej wojny w Zatoce Perskiej (1990-91) wieża Pałacu Seif została bezpośrednio trafiona przez nadlatujący pocisk rakietowy, który zniszczył tarczę zegarową. Smith of Derby Group zastąpiła kultowy zegar i była jedyną firmą spoza USA, która otrzymała kontrakt w tym okresie rekonstrukcji.

Seif Palace (Arabic, قصر السيف) is a palace in Kuwait City, Kuwait. Located opposite the Grand Mosque, one of Seif Palace’s best-known features is the watch tower, covered in blue tiles and with a roof plated in pure gold. Local materials such as clay, rocks, limestone, wood and metals were used in its construction.
Construction started in 1904, and it was renovated in 1909, 1964 and 1987.
The tower of the Seif Palace received a direct hit from an incoming missile during the first Gulf War (1990–91) which destroyed the dial room. Smith of Derby Group replaced the iconic clock, and were the only non-US company to be awarded a contract in this reconstructive period.
