The House of European History (HEH) is a history museum and cultural institution in Brussels, Belgium, focusing on the recent history of Europe. It is an initiative by the European Parliament, and was proposed in 2007 by the Parliament's then-president, Hans-Gert Pöttering; it opened on 6 May 2017.

As a cultural institution and exhibition centre, the House of European History presents a permanent exhibition on European history and European integration, as well as temporary exhibitions. Its collection includes objects and documents relating to European history, presented chronologically and thematically. It also organises educational programmes and cultural events, and produces publications and online content.

The museum is located in the former Eastman Dental Hospital, in Leopold Park, next to the Lycée Émile Jacqmain and close to the European institutions.
