The Palacio de Miraflores (Spanish for "Miraflores Palace") is the official workplace of the president of Venezuela. It is located in the capital of Caracas.

It was started in 1884 under the direction of Giuseppe Orsi and was intended as the family residence of Joaquin Crespo. In 1900 the Venezuelan government bought the house and has been the official seat of the executive branch of the government of Venezuela and sometimes been the residence of the president of Venezuela ever since, although La Casona is the actual official residence.
