The House of Peoples of Bosnia and Herzegovina (Serbo-Croatian: Dom naroda Bosne i Hercegovine/Дом народа Босне и Херцеговине) is one of the two chambers of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with the other chamber being the House of Representatives of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was established through the signing of the Dayton Agreement in 1995.

It has 15 members equally distributed among the three ethnic groups in Bosnia and Herzegovina: 5 Bosniaks, 5 Serbs, and 5 Croats. According to the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the members of the House of Peoples are appointed so that "designated Croat and Bosniak delegates from the Federation shall be selected, respectively, by the Croat and Bosniak delegates to the House of Peoples of the Federation. Delegates from Republika Srpska shall be selected by the National Assembly of the Republika Srpska."[2]
