The Jardin botanique de Bayeux (2.6 hectares), also called the Jardin public de Bayeux, is a botanical garden and municipal park located at 53, route de Port-en-Bessin, Bayeux, Calvados, Basse-Normandie, France. It is open daily without charge.

The garden site was formerly a meadow, bequeathed in 1851 by Charlemagne Jean-Delamare (1772-1858) as a garden for teaching horticulture, landscaped by Eugène Bühler (1822-1907), and in 1864 opened to the public. Many specimens planted from 1859-1864 remain. The most notable among its roughly 400 mature trees is a weeping European Beech that in 1932 was named a natural monument and in 2000 a remarkable tree of France.
