The House of Augustus, or the Domus Augusti (not to be confused with the Domus Augustana), is situated on the Palatine Hill in Rome, Italy. A house on the southwestern corner of the Palatine has been identified, though not without dispute, as the primary place of residence for the emperor Augustus (r. 27 BC – AD 14).[1][page needed]

The Domus Augusti is located near the so-called Hut of Romulus and other sites that have connections to the foundation of Rome. The location of the Flavian-era Domus Augustana has also been identified as that of the house of Augustus.
