The Van Rysselberghe House (French: Maison Van Rysselberghe; Dutch: Huis Van Rysselberghe) is a town house built by Octave van Rysselberghe in Ixelles, Brussels, Belgium. It was the personal house of Octave van Rysselberghe and is located at 83, rue de Livourne/Livornostraat, a few steps from the Hôtel Otlet erected by the same architect.
The building, semi-detached, has a narrow façade that revolves around a protruding staircase in the form of tower. According to Pierre Loze, Dominique Vautier and Marina Vestre: "this stripped-down façade, almost devoid of any decoration, fits into the pre-rationalist current that was emerging at that time."
Built in 1912, the Van Rysselberghe House was listed as a monument in 1997.
