Behnam House is a mansion in Tabriz, Iran, built during the late Zand and early Qajar eras as a residence and listed as Iranian National Heritage. Under Naser al-Din Shah Qajar (1848–1896) it was substantially renovated and decorated with ornamental paintings. Its two-storey symmetrical Winter Building stands on a basement beside a smaller Summer Building, and the house has inner and outer courtyards. Miniature frescoes uncovered during a 2009 renovation were restored by specialists.
