The House of Pernštejn (German: Pernstein) was one of the oldest and most important (uradel) families originating from Moravian nobility, along with the House of Rosenberg, that played an important role in the medieval history of Bohemian nobility from the 13th century until its extinction in the first half of the 17th century.
