Dundas House is located at 36 St Andrew Square, Edinburgh, Scotland. It is the Registered Office of the Royal Bank of Scotland. It is protected as a category A listed building.[1]

Dundas House was designed by Sir William Chambers and built in 1774 for Sir Lawrence Dundas. Its location was originally intended to be the site for St Andrew's Church - mirroring the former St George's Church in Charlotte Square at the opposite end of George Street. St Andrew's Church was subsequently built at a less prominent site at 13 George Street.

Dundas House was acquired by the Royal Bank of Scotland in 1821. The interior was radically altered, including the building of the notable domed banking hall with star-shaped windows in the ceiling, which was added by the architect John Dick Peddie in 1857.
