Chilenje House 394, located in Chilenje, Lusaka, Zambia is a house in which Dr Kenneth Kaunda lived from January 1960 to December 1962. From this house, he directed the struggle for Independence of Zambia, which was finally achieved on 24 October 1964.

It is described as a simple two-bed roomed residential house with a small living room and a kitchen. It lies in a spacious compound littered with giant trees that seem to thrive on a stony ground.

The house is one of three houses that are included as a protected monument. The monument was officially opened by Dr Kenneth Kaunda on 23 October 1968.
