The Celso Ledesma House, or Celso Ledesma Mansion, also known as Eagle House, is a heritage house located in Iloilo City, Philippines. Situated within the Calle Real Heritage Zone in Iloilo City Proper, the house was built in 1922 by engineers Mariano Cacho and Mariano Salas for Don Celso Ledesma. During World War II, the Japanese imperial forces earmarked the house for an important official. However, as the official never arrived in Iloilo, the house and all its furniture were spared from requisition or damage.

Don Celso Ledesma later bequeathed the house to his nephew, Don Zafiro Ledesma. The Ledesma family has continued to maintain the property. Both Don Celso and Don Zafiro Ledesma served as mayors of Iloilo City.
