The German Phono Museum (German: Deutsche Phonomuseum) is a museum in Baden-Württemberg in the town of Sankt Georgen im Schwarzwald.

The museum portrays the history of the music industry, beginning with phonographs and continuing right up to the modern CD. In the museum, in addition to old record players, that were produced by local firms, Dual and Perpetuum-Ebner (PE), there are gramophones, which were the predecessors of the record player. In addition, other curiosities of the music industry are on display.

The museum was opened for the first time on 15 July 2011 and is located in the old shope of "Brigau". The museum is open from Tuesday to Sunday. Group guided tours may be booked in advance.
