The Bunkamura (文化村; Japanese for "cultural enclave") is a concert hall, theater and museum located in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan. Located next to the Tokyu Department Store, it is operated by the Tokyu Bunkamura, Inc. of the Tokyu Group.

A long-term redevelopment process for the local area began on April 10, 2023, with all venues except for the Orchard Hall being closed. During the redevelopment, the company will continue to stage performances in venues across the city.
