Founded in 1914, the Geffrye Museum is a museum specialising in the history of the English domestic interior. Named after Sir Robert Geffrye, former Lord Mayor of London and Master of the Ironmongers' Company, it is located on Kingsland Road in London. The main body of the museum is housed in the Grade I-listed almshouses of the Worshipful Company of Ironmongers, built in 1714 at the bequest of Geffrye. The museum was extended in 1998 with an innovative yet architecturally sympathetic new wing designed by Branson Coates Architects.

On 7 January 2018 the Geffrye closed for its two-year £18m development project, Unlocking the Geffrye. The museum is due to reopen in early 2020.

There is a herb garden, open to the public in the summer months.

It is accessible by bus from Liverpool Street Station and Old Street Station, while Haggerston Station on the London Overground overlooks the museum.
