State House of Namibia, Presidential residence and administrative complex in Windhoek, Namibia.

The State House of Namibia is a large administrative complex in Windhoek that serves multiple functions within a substantial compound. It houses the Office of the President, offices for cabinet members, accommodations for visiting dignitaries, and the presidential residence.

Sam Nujoma launched construction in September 2002 to replace the cramped Old State House on Robert Mugabe Avenue. Mansudae Overseas Projects built the complex over 66 months; Hifikepunye Pohamba inaugurated it on 21 March 2008 before Kim Yong-nam and Cuban general Leopoldo Cintra Frías. The first Cabinet meeting was held on 2 September 2008, and the President moved in on 4 June 2010.

The building displays artworks that tell Namibian history, including copper animal sculptures and a painting featuring members of the first cabinet of the country. These artistic elements shape its character and serve as reminders of the nation's early years of independence.

The property is surrounded by security features and sits on an expansive grounds in the Auasblick area. Visitors should verify in advance whether tours are available, as this is a restricted security area.

Mansudae Overseas Projects built three other major works in Namibia besides the State House: Heroes' Acre, the Okahandja Military Museum and the Independence Memorial Museum. On the park-like grounds, copper replicas of kudu and elephants stand among released impala and springbok, and two helipads face the main gate across the road.
