Kunstnerkollegiet (The Artist Dorm) is a hall of residence with 32 apartments for students at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and other universities in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was founded in 1974 but its building, formerly known as Trøstens Bolig (The Dwelling of Consolation) and Soldins Stiftelse (Soldin's Foundation), traces its history back to the 1810s. It is a three-winged complex built in the Neoclassical style to design by Christian Frederik Hansen. The main entrance is located at Skindergade 34, but the three-winged complex is closed on the other side by a low wall with another gate at Dyrkøb 1 and one of the gables faces Fiolstræde.
