The Samuel Goldwyn Estate is a house at 1200 Laurel Lane in Beverly Hills, California. It was designed by American architects Douglas Honnold and George Vernon Russell for Polish-American film producer Samuel Goldwyn and American actress Frances Howard, finishing construction in 1934. The property was owned by the Goldwyn family until 2015, when it was purchased and subsequently renovated by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift.

Goldwyn and Howard held several social gatherings at the house, with guests including Marlene Dietrich, Charlie Chaplin, Clark Gable, Frank Capra, Katharine Hepburn, Irving Berlin, Ginger Rogers, Jock Whitney, Lucille Ball, Eleanor Roosevelt, Norma Shearer, and Harpo Marx. The house was made a National Historic Landmark in 2017, and hosts Swift's recording studio, Kitty Committee Studio, set up in April 2020.
