The Chinese Cultural Centre is a Chinese community centre, museum, and municipal archives facility located in Vancouver Chinatown. It was founded in 1973 and opened to the public in 1980.[1][2] It houses the Chinese Canadian Military Museum Society on the second floor.

In April 2020, the facility was vandalized with graffiti that is linked to the COVID-19 pandemic in British Columbia.[3]
