Pavlov's House (Russian: дом Павлова) was an apartment in the former Soviet Union. It is well-known for its defensive position during the Battle of Stalingrad between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany (Pavlov's House: 27 September – 25 November 1942; 60 days). Its importance remained a key victory for the Red Army and later on the Soviet propaganda.

The name "Pavlov's House" came from Soviet sergeant Yakov Pavlov, who was in charge of defending the apartment.
