The Parliament House of Ghana is the official seat of the Speaker of Parliament of the country and also serves as Parliament of Ghana. It also has offices which serve temporal offices of certain members of parliament. It was designed by Kwame Nkrumah, the first president of Ghana.

Today's Parliament is located in the building of the former Kwame Nkrumah Conference Center, where it moved in 1981. Nowadays, due to its convenient location in the busy area, with the neighboring State House, it is one of the most famous buildings in Central Accra and the most significant institution in the country. There is a fine square with decorative plants and palms in front of the House.
