Washington Place, Greek Revival palace in Honolulu, United States.

Washington Place is a two-story white Greek Revival palace in the Hawaii Capital Historic District of Honolulu. Its almost square core is surrounded by a two-tiered verandah with Tuscan columns above and coral-stone lower walls and columns, topped by a hipped roof. The interior follows a Georgian plan with four parlors on the first floor and four bedchambers above.

Captain John Dominis began building the house in the 1840s but was lost at sea in 1846 before it was finished. His son John Owen Dominis married Lydia Kamakaʻeha Pākī, the future Queen Liliʻuokalani, in 1862, making Washington Place her residence. In 1893 she was arrested there during the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom, and she died in a downstairs bedroom on November 11, 1917. The territorial legislature bought the house in 1921 for $55,000 to serve as the governor's mansion.

The residence served first as home to Hawaii's last reigning monarch and later as the official seat for governors. Visitors today see rooms furnished with objects from both eras, showing the shift from royal to territorial administration.

The Washington Place Foundation organizes guided tours through the building, allowing visits to the historic rooms and garden. Tours take place throughout the year and last about an hour.

The name came from Anthony Ten Eyck, the American commissioner who boarded here, in a letter dated February 22, 1848, George Washington's birthday; King Kamehameha III approved it. The house was designed by master carpenter Isaac Hart, who also worked on the first ʻIolani Palace.
