Haus Heck stands in Essen (Essen), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Haus Heck is a former manor house in the Werden district of Essen, now serving as a parish house for the local Protestant community. First recorded in written sources at the end of the 14th century under the name 'Hys an der Hecghe', it takes its name from a hedge that once formed part of the town's fortifications. Built of Ruhr sandstone, the building passed through several uses over the centuries: described as a ruin in the 16th century, rebuilt as an abbot's residence in the 17th, later used as a Prussian customs office, and eventually owned by a local cloth manufacturer. Its 19th-century staircase and partly preserved ground-floor flooring remain of particular interest.
