Palma Nova (Balearic Catalan pronunciation: [ˈpalmə ˈnɔvə]; lit.'new Palma') is a town in the municipality of Calvià on Mallorca, one of the Balearic Islands, Spain.

Palma Nova was one of the first purpose-built tourist destinations on the island, catering for all tastes. The town is frequented by a range of socio-economic groups due to the proximity to both the city of Palma and the resort of Magaluf. With the advent of low-cost airlines and package holidays, Palma Nova has grown to become a major holiday destination for Europeans.
