Chancellor House is a South African holding company managing investments in the mining, engineering, energy and information technology sectors.[3][4] It is named after Chancellor House, the building where the law firm of Nelson Mandela and Oliver Tambo was located.

After initially being exposed as a surreptitious funding front for the African National Congress (ANC) it was subsequently acknowledged as an in-house investment firm for the party.[5] It is best known for the controversy surrounding the award to it of lucrative black economic empowerment and parastatal contracts.
