The Haveli of Nau Nihal Singh (Punjabi: نونہال سنگھ دی حویلی), officially known as Government Victoria Girls' High School, is a haveli (mansion) that houses a government school located in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan.[1]

Dating from the Sikh era of the mid-19th century, the haveli is considered to be one of the finest examples of Sikh architecture in Lahore,[2] and is the only Sikh-era haveli that preserves its original ornamentation and architecture. Nau Nihal Singh was a grandson of Maharaja Ranjit Singh.[1][3]
