The Altona Observatory (German: Sternwarte Altona) was an astronomical observatory situated in the Palmaille, in Altona, Hamburg. The observatory was founded by Heinrich Christian Schumacher in 1823 and continued to operate until 1871, 21 years after his death. It closed due to funding being cut off following the cession of the 'Elbe Duchies' of Schleswig, Holstein, and Saxe-Lauenburg by Denmark to Austria and Prussia following the Second Schleswig War. The Astronomische Nachrichten journal was founded at the observatory by Schumacher, and was edited there until the observatory's closure.

(en) Die Sternwarte Altona in der Palmaille 9 im heutigen Hamburg-Altona wurde 1823 von Heinrich Christian Schumacher gegründet und nach seinem Tod 1850 noch bis 1871 weiterbetrieben. Die Errichtung erfolgte auf Anregung des dänischen Staatsministers Johannes von Mösting auch im Hinblick auf die Landesvermessung von Holstein, mit der Schumacher, Professor für Astronomie an der Universität Kopenhagen und zuvor Direktor der Mannheimer Sternwarte, beauftragt worden war. Als sich 1864 die deutschen „Elbherzogtümer“ von Dänemark lossagten und in Hamburg-Bergedorf ein neues Observatorium entstand, wurde die Sternwarte 1874 nach Kiel verlegt.
