Riel House is aNational Historic Site commemorating the life of theMétis politician and activistLouis Riel, and also the daily life of Métis families in theRed River Settlement. The house is situated in the historicSt. Vital parish ofWinnipeg, in Manitoba, Canada. From 1865, the residence belonged to Riel's mother, Julie Riel (Lagimodière),^[1] and housed his brothers and their families. Louis Riel lived along with them from his return toRed River in 1868, through theRed River Resistance, until his exile in 1870. It is also where his body lay in state for two days in December 1885, after his sentencing and execution for murder and treason, before being buried inSt. Boniface.^[2] The house remained within the possession of Riel descendants until 1968, when it was acquired by the Winnipeg Historical Society.

The house was restored to its 1886 condition and converted into a museum. It was designated aNational Historic Site in 1976^[3] and aFederal Heritage Building in 2000. It is owned and administered byParks Canada, but since 2013, theLouis Riel Institute^[4] (an associate of theManitoba Métis Federation) has provided interpretation and programming.
