Palazzo Beltrami, Palazzo in Milan, Italy.

Palazzo Beltrami is a municipal office building on Piazza della Scala, opposite the Teatro alla Scala. Built in eclectic style, it has four floors arranged in three orders: a rusticated ground floor, a piano nobile with curved-pediment windows and a central balcony, and a top floor closing with face sculptures on a frieze.

Built between 1918 and 1927 in eclectic style, the palazzo replaced Casa Brambilla, an 1855 building known as the "Casa rossa" for its red terracotta decoration. Architect Luca Beltrami oversaw both the demolition and the design of the new building, which became the seat of the city's ragioneria comunale.

The name Casa Brambilla, or "Casa rossa", came from the red terracotta decoration of the earlier building on this site, demolished for the new palazzo. Luca Beltrami directed both the demolition and the design. The building now houses the city's ragioneria comunale, the municipal accounting office, so it is seen from Piazza della Scala rather than visited inside.

The palazzo faces Piazza della Scala at number 3, opposite the Teatro alla Scala, so it is passed on foot between the Duomo and La Scala. It houses the city's ragioneria comunale, an administrative office, so visits are limited to the exterior; the facade is best read from the square, where the rusticated ground floor, the curved pediments of the piano nobile and the face sculptures of the top floor are all visible.

The building is the seat of Milan's municipal accounting office (ragioneria comunale), not a residence. It replaced Casa Brambilla, known as the "Casa rossa" for its terracotta decoration, demolished by Luca Beltrami himself before he built the new palazzo between 1918 and 1927.
