Mitrofanov Residence (Azerbaijani: Mitrofanovun evi) is a mansion in Baku, capital of Azerbaijan. It was built by Dmitry D. Mitrofanov, a rich oil baron who employed Johann Edel as the architect for his residence. Construction took place between 1898 and 1902. The building was built in the French Renaissance Revival-style. Following the March 1918 events, the building was used by the Baku Commune. In 1919, during the short-lived Democratic Republic of Azerbaijan, the building housed the French Embassy. With the April 1920 invasion, the building was divided into apartments.
