Frogmore House is a 17th-century English country house owned by the Crown Estate. It is a historic Grade I listed building. The house is located on the Frogmore estate, which is situated within the grounds of the Home Park in Windsor, Berkshire. Half a mile south of Windsor Castle, Frogmore was let to a number of tenants until the late 18th century, when it was used intermittently as a residence for several members of the British royal family.

Queen Charlotte spent much time on the estate, and it was later the home of Queen Victoria's mother, the Duchess of Kent and Strathern (whose large mausoleum is in a part of the estate's 33 acre gardens). Although occasionally used as a retreat into the early 20th century, the house has been largely unoccupied since 1872. Queen Mary often stayed there early in her marriage and for the rest of her life in the 20th century took a special interest in furnishing the house with family mementos. Keepsakes from the royal yacht HMY Britannia following its decommissioning were placed there in the late 20th century by Prince Philip. In the 21st century, it is used by the royal family to host both private and official events.
