The Casa da Santa Inquisição is a two-floor building with an interesting tile panel and some iconographic elements located in the Rua do Quebra-Costas, in Monsaraz, Alentejo, Portugal.

It is believed that this is the very place when the members of the Inquisition (Holy Tribunal) judged and tortured the prisoners, although no sound evidence remains. It is assumed that the building was also used as prison for inmates before they were judged and sent to Évora.
