House Party was the first House Party professional wrestling supercard event produced by Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW). The event took place on January 5, 1996 in the ECW Arena in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the United States.[1] Several matches from the event aired on the January 23, 1996 episode of ECW Hardcore TV.

House Party featured the final appearance of tag team the Public Enemy, who had signed contracts with World Championship Wrestling, until their return in January 1999, as well as the final appearance of Tony Stetson. The event also saw the debut of future ECW mainstay Rob Van Dam, along with the surprise return of Shane Douglas from the World Wrestling Federation (WWF).[2]

Although not airing on pay-per-view, in July 2019 the event was added to the WWE Network, in the ECW pay-per-view section.[3]
