Straus Hall is one of the dormitories housing first-year students at Harvard College. It is located in Harvard Yard.

Three Harvard brothers built Straus Hall to commemorate their parents, Isidor Straus and Ida Straus, who died on the Titanic. Straus was the last freshman dormitory to become coeducational.

Past residents include William S. Burroughs, David Souter, John Roberts, Phil Bredesen, Tom Ridge, Benjamin Schoefer, Darren Aronofsky, Welton E. Blount, Jr., Soledad O'Brien, Tim Wirth, Jon Husson and Joseph Lelyveld. (Source: Dorm History Search at http://hcs.harvard.edu/~dorms/)
