The House of One is an ecumenical religious structure being built in Petriplatz, on Leipziger Strasse, Fischerinsel, Berlin, Germany. When completed, the building will be a house of prayer for three religions,{{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/welcome-to-berlins-house-of-one--a-church-synagogue-and-mosque-9507002.html |title=Welcome to Berlin's House of One – a church, synagogue and mosque |date= |access-date= |work=The Independent |location=United Kingdom }} containing a church, a mosque, and a synagogue.{{efn|Despite claims to the be the world's first building accommodating multiple faiths, the House of Religions in Bern, Switzerland, opened in 2014, and the Tri-Faith Initiative in Omaha, Nebraska, opened in 2020.

The structure was designed by Kuehn Malvezzi in the Modernist style, and is being built on the site where St Peter's Church, ({{langx|de|Petrikirche}}) a 13th-century Protestant church, the first in Berlin, was located from approximately 800 years. The church and associated square were heavily damaged during World War II and the former church was subsequently demolished in 1964 by the East German communist regime.{{cite web |url=http://www.thedailystar.net/berlin-house-of-one-the-first-church-mosque-synagogue-30173 |title=Under One Roof: Will this be the world's first multi-faith venue? |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140628065316/http://www.thedailystar.net/berlin-house-of-one-the-first-church-mosque-synagogue-30173 |archive-date=2014-06-28 |work=The Daily Star |location= |date= |access-date= }}
