The Sobrado Azulejado, also Sobrado de Azulejos, is a 19th-century sobrado (mansion) in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. It is located in the Comércio district on Praça Cayru, a public square, in close proximity to the Mercado Modelo, a public market. The house is entirely glazed in azulejo, a tin-glazed ceramic tile; all of the tiles of the sobrado were manufactured in Portugal. The structure was listed as a national heritage site by the National Institute of Historic and Artistic Heritage (IPHAN) in 1969. Udo Knoff, a ceramics researcher, called the building "the most azulejo-tiled building" in Bahia.
