The House in Karp Lane (German: Das Haus in der Karpfengasse) is a 1965 West German drama film directed by Kurt Hoffmann and starring Jana Brejchová, Edith Schultze-Westrum and Wolfgang Kieling.

It portrays the Jewish residents of a Prague boarding house during the German occupation of Czechoslovakia. While the film received several awards, it was a major commercial failure.[1] Hoffmann then returned to directing the comedies he was better known for.

The film was shot at the Barrandov Studios in Prague, and on location around the city.
