The '''Matthias Corvinus House''' ([[Romanian language|Romanian]]: ''Casa Matia'', {{langx|hu|Mátyás király szülőháza}}) is one of the oldest buildings in [[Cluj-Napoca]], [[Transylvania]], [[Romania]]. It was built in the 15th century, in the gothic style, 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.<br />
<br />
[[Matthias Corvinus]] (Hungarian: ''Hunyadi Mátyás'', Romanian: ''Matia Corvin''), son of [[John Hunyadi]], later one of the most renowned [[Kings of Hungary]], was born in this building.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Matthias Corvinus House |url=https://www.lonelyplanet.com/romania/transylvania/cluj-napoca/attractions/matthias-corvinus-house/a/poi-sig/477336/360407 |access-date=2024-06-21 |website=Lonely Planet}}</ref> That time the house was owned by Jakab (James) Méhffi, who was a well-to-do wine-grower and merchant in the city. On 28 September 1467, king Matthias gave tax and duty exemption privilege for all descendants of the Méhffi family, the owner of the building.<br />
<br />
The house has been owned by the [[Art and Design University of Cluj-Napoca]] since 1950.<br />
