Casa Loma (Spanish for Hill House) is a Gothic Revival style house and gardens in midtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada, that is now a museum and landmark. It was originally a residence for financier Sir Henry Mill Pellatt.

Casa Loma was constructed over a three-year period from 1911–1914. The architect of the mansion was E. J. Lennox, who was responsible for the designs of several other city landmarks.

The "Castle-on-the-Hill" is a genuine 98-room castle in the heart of Toronto complete with secret passages, tunnels, towers and turrets. In 1937 it was opened to the public for the first time as a tourist attraction operated by the Kiwanis Club of Toronto. In May 2011 the City of Toronto announced plans to resume management of Casa Loma after reaching a financial settlement with the Kiwanis Club.

Casa Loma has five acres of gardens. An underground tunnel connects Casa Loma to the Hunting Lodge and to The Stables (Garage, Potting Shed, Stalls, Carriage Room and Tack Rooms). Casa Loma has never been an official residence of either the city of Toronto or the Province of Ontario.
