The A. M. Qattan Foundation is a not-for-profit developmental organisation based in Ramallah, West Bank, Palestine.

It was founded in 1993 by the Palestinian businessman and politician Abdel Mohsin Al-Qattan.[1][2] The chairman is his son Omar Al-Qattan.[2]

In June 2018, the Foundation opened a $21 million headquarters building and arts centre in Ramallah.[2]

The foundation was involved in a bid to inscribe Palestinian hikaye to UNESCO's list of intangible cultural heritage.[3]
