The Sigvert Grubbe House (Danish: Sivgert Grubbes Gård) is a Renaissance style townhouse situated at Strandgade 28 in the Christianshavn neighborhood of central Copenhagen, Denmark. The property comprises the building at Wildersgade 41 on the other side of the block as well as a half-timbered building separating two central courtyards from each other. The apartment on the first floor features a number of murals attributed to Nicolai Abildgaard. The entire complex was listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1918. It takes its name after its first owner, Sigbert Grubbe, a favourite of Christian IV. It was later owned by Jacob Benjamin Italiaender, a Sphardi Jew, who established a tobacco manufactory as well as a private synagogue in the yard. The painter Peder Severin Krøyer grew up in the building in the 1860s.
