The '''Filardi House''' ({{langx|es|Casa Filardi}}), also known as '''Casa Muñoz''' ({{langx|en|Muñoz House}}), is a historic house with ground-level commercial space in Yauco, Puerto Rico. It is notable for the extensive use of concrete sculptural ornamentation on its facade. Italian immigrant Vicente Filardi, a contractor with business in Ponce and Yauco, designed and built the house in 1916 with his sons Juan Bautista and Domingo. The younger Filardis were responsible for the integration of the elaborate decorative features with the overall Beaux-Arts plan, and later came to be recognized as experts in production of ornamental elements of cast concrete.<ref name="FilardiNom">{{Citation | last1 = Torres | first1 = Jerry | last2 = Morales | first2 = Armando | date = August 1984 | title = National Register of Historic Places Inventory—Nomination: Filardi House / | url = {{NRHP url|85000116}} | accessdate = March 20, 2016 | format = PDF}} With {{NRHP url|id=85000116|photos=y|title=six photos}}.</ref>
