House of Jade is an instrumental jazz tune composed by Wayne Shorter, its sole writer. Post-bop and modal in style, it has no lyrics. The original recording was made on 3 August 1964 at Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, with McCoy Tyner on piano, Reggie Workman on bass and Elvin Jones on drums, produced by Alfred Lion. It is track A3 on the album JuJu (Blue Note, BLP 4182, July 1965), Shorter's fifth album, and runs 6:49 on the original LP; an alternate take of 6:35 appears on the 1996 remastered CD.
Critics noted the album's rhythm section, associated with John Coltrane, which backed Shorter well, according to Stacia Proefrock of AllMusic. DownBeat gave the album three stars out of five, and The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide gave it four out of five.
Later recordings include versions by the Chet Baker Trio (1979 and 1982), Michal Urbaniak, Paul Kogut and Kelly Sill, and Jack DeSalvo with Joel Shapira. The French singer Camille Bertault recorded a sung version derived from the tune, Casa de jade.
