Teide Observatory , IAU code 954, is an astronomical observatory on Mount Teide at 2,390 metres , located on Tenerife, Spain. It has been operated by the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias since its inauguration in 1964. It became one of the first major international observatories, attracting telescopes from different countries around the world because of the good astronomical seeing conditions. Later the emphasis for optical telescopes shifted more towards Roque de los Muchachos Observatory on La Palma.
The observatory has a visitors' centre and a residencia for astronomers. Brian May helped construct a building there to study interplanetary dust.
