House Redoran, also known as Great House Redoran, is a political organization in the The Elder Scrolls series of video games.

The Dunmer founded-and-dominated House Redoran is one of the six Great Houses of Morrowind. The house is made up of seasoned warriors who protect western Vvardenfell in the Velothi Mountains from Nord invaders from the province of Skyrim. Their holdings in the mainland of Morrowind include a large portion of the Western Mountains, the Northwestern Highlands and the Great Valley.

In the computer game Morrowind the Council Seat of House Redoran in the district of Vvardenfell is situated in Ald'rhun. Their main capital in the province of Morrowind is Blacklight.

The House Redoran prizes the virtues of duty, gravity, and piety. Duty is to one's own honor, and to their family, and clan. Gravity is the essential seriousness of life. Life is hard and events must be endured and reflected upon with care and earnest. Piety is respect to the gods and the virtues they represent. A light careless life is not worth living. These are the beliefs and life of the house. An act against these is treason and may result in removal from the house. Murder is an extremely dishonorable act but a duel is a common act in the house. These traits of House Redoran are strongly reminiscent of feudal-era Japanese Samurai who lived according to Bushido, a code of conduct which demanded great seriousness and adherence to certain rules of honor and family, as well as devotion to Shinto and Buddha.

The House Redoran are ruled by their Archmaster, who is supported by their councilors. This house believes itself to be above and beyond the other houses due to their honor and martial prowess. They hate the Ashlanders, considering them to be heretics against the Tribunal. They and the damned vampire clans are blasphemous and some segments of House Redoran believe they should be removed. They hate the murderers and thieves of the Camonna Tong and the Thieves Guild. They are allied with the Temple, as well as the Imperial Legion, being impressed by that army's military honor. As well, House Redoran has a respect for the combat abilities of the Fighter's Guild and enjoys a friendship with this guild. This house, while they are not the priests and holy crusaders like House Indoril, are nevertheless driven by a holy zeal.

In-game books involving House Redoran include non-fiction informative books and fiction. The nonfiction includes the Red Book of 3E426 (A directory to Redoran councilors and council affairs), The True Noble's Code (An informative recruiting book for House Redoran), and Redoran Cooking Secrets (A book on Redoran cooking).
