Casa Mariquit, sometimes known as Javellana–Lopez Heritage House, is a historic house in Iloilo City, Philippines. The house is located on Santa Isabel Street in the district of Jaro. It is considered the oldest existing heritage house in Iloilo, built in 1803.[1]

The centuries-old house is owned by one of the most influential old families in Iloilo, Javellana and Lopez kin, and is one of the most well-maintained heritage houses in Iloilo. It still contains much of its original furniture and old framed photographs hanging on the walls.[2]

It is now a museum open to the public for tours.
