The Matthias Corvinus House (Romanian: Casa Matei Corvin, Hungarian: Mátyás király szülőháza) is one of the oldest buildings in Cluj-Napoca, Romania. It was built in the 15th century as a small guesthouse. During its history, the house served as a jail, hospital, and museum; it is now home to a visual arts institute.
Matthias Corvinus (Romanian: Matei Corvin), son of John Hunyadi, Voivode of Transylvania, later one of the most renowned kings of Hungary, was born in this building.
