El Greco Apartments is a twelve-unit Spanish Colonial Revival apartment building in Los Angeles, designed by Walter Swindell Davis and Pierpont Davis, working as Davis and Davis. Completed in 1929 in Westwood Village, it housed film figures including Erich von Stroheim, Michael Curtiz, and Joel McCrea. Threatened with demolition in the 1980s, it was moved to the Fairfax district, where it became low-income senior housing. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument.
