The Governor's House in Baku, Azerbaijan, was the Governor's abode in Baku. It was built in 1865–1867. Then, businessman Seyid Mirbabayev bought the building, leased it to the governors of the Russian Empire as the first official residence for this position.
When the governor first moved from Shamakhi to Baku, no building in the city had been designated for him.
