Die Alte Wasserkunst in Bautzen war die spätmittelalterliche Wasserversorgung der Stadt. Über 400 Jahre lang, bis 1963 versorgte sie die Altstadt mit Wasser. 

Die Alte Wasserkunst beförderte das Trinkwasser aus der Spree in die Altstadt. Durch ihr Lage am Südrand der Stadt war sie dem direkten Beschuss der Feinde preisgegeben. Deshalb wurde sie in massiver Bauweise als gleichzeitiger Verteidigungsturm errichtet. Kurz nach ihrer Außerdienststellung zur Wasserförderung wurde die hundert Jahre alte Transmission umgebaut und wird nun zur turmeigenen Energieversorgung genutzt.

Das seit 1965 stillgelegte Gebäude ist ein technisches Museum und kann besichtigt werden. Das historische Wasserwerk wird für Ausstellungen, wie Fotoausstellungen und Malerei genutzt. Zuzeit werden durch den Pächter der Wasserkunst in Bautzen Führungen durch die historische Wasserversorgung angeboten. Dies ist ebenso lohnenswert wie der Ausblick von der Turmspitze über die Türme-Stadt-Bautzen.
