The Prior House (Danish: Den Priorske Gård), situated at Bredgade 33, opposite Sankt Annæ Plads, is the former headquarters of the Bruun Rasmussen auction house in Copenhagen, Denmark. The Neoclassical building was constructed in 1794 for a ship captain by master mason Andreas Hallander. It contained a single high-end apartment on each of the three upper floors.

The building takes its name from businessman and ship-owner Hans Peter Prior, its owner from 1850 until his death 25 years later, whose shipping company DFDS was initially based in the building. One of Prior's sons was the sculptor Lauritz Prior. In 1864, Prior charged the architect Wilhelm Petersen with the design of a three-storey atalier building for the son. Prior's Atelier Building (Danish: Den Prior'ske Atalierbygning, Bredgade 33C) is decorated with a series of reliefs created by Lauritz Prior.

It was after his death used by a number of other leading Danish artists of the late 19th and early 20th century, including Peder Severin Krøyer, Lauritz Tuxen, Carl Bloch, Frants Henningsen and Edvard Weie. Kunstnernes Frie Studieskoler, an art school founded by Krøyer and Tuxen as an alternative to that of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, was initially based in the building. The Prior House remained in the hands of the Prior family for almost one hundred years. In 1847, Bredgade 33 was acquired by Bruubn Rasmussen-founder Arne Bruun Rasmussen, whose auction house has since then been headquartered in the building. Other notable former residents include the naval officers Johann Christopher Hoppe [da], Jost van Dockum [da] and Edouard van Dockum [da], government officials Johann Paul Høpp [da] and Friedrich Nicolaus von Liliencron [de], writer Adam Oehlenschläger and politician Orla Lehmann.
