The Zoologisches Forschungsmuseum Alexander Koenig (ZFMK) is an important natural museum and a zoological research institution in Germany managed by the University of Bonn since May, 1934. It was modelled after the Museum of Natural History, Berlin.

ZFMK is named after its founder, Alexander Koenig owing to his contribution to specimen collection and natural history. The museum was founded with an intention to showcase the private collection of Koenig as part of a permanent exhibition. The foundation stone was laid in 1912 but it took nearly 20 years for completion. It served as the seat of Parliamentary council for west Germany after World War II.
