Ukrainian House (Ukrainian: Український дім) is a cultural and art center on Khreschatyk street in Kiev, Ukraine.

Built in 1982, this monumental building was original erected as a Lenin's Museum, displaying materials documenting Lenin's life. It is interesting to note, that Lenin has never visited Kiev in his entire lifetime. Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the building was renamed and converted to a conference and exhibition hall.
