O Aqueduto da Água de Prata, conhecido também por Aqueduto da Água da Prata ou Aqueduto da Prata é uma complexa obra de engenharia hidráulica renascentista com o objectivo de abastecer a cidade de Évora com água. Inaugurado no ano de 1537, foi edificado no reinado de D. João III e projectado e construído pelo arquitecto régio Francisco de Arruda. O aqueduto transporta água desde nascentes situadas na Graça do Divor, dentro dos terrenos do Convento São Bento de Castris, que "têm o seu primeiro principio na Herdade das Figueiras de Lobo", até à cidade de Évora percorrendo cerca de 18 Km. É parte integrante do Centro Histórico de Évora incluído Lista do Património Mundial da UNESCO e está classificado como Monumento Nacional desde 1910. O aqueduto é um dos poucos desta época que continua a funcionar na actualidade, contribuindo para o abastecimento da cidade. Devido à forte necessidade de preservação, o Aqueduto entrou para a lista bienal do World Monuments Watch.
