The Greystone Mansion and Gardens, also known as the Doheny Mansion, is a Tudor Revival mansion on a landscaped estate with distinctive formal English gardens, located in Trousdale Estates of Beverly Hills, California, United States. Architect Gordon Kaufmann designed the residence and ancillary structures, and construction was completed in 1928.

Completed in 1928 for the son of oil tycoon Edward L. Doheny, Greystone Mansion & Gardens is a Beverly Hills and Los Angeles treasure. The City of Beverly Hills purchased the property in 1965, and in 1971 the entire 18.3-acre site was formally dedicated as a public park. Greystone was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 and in 2013 was designated Beverly Hills Local Historic Landmark No. 4.

The 55-room, 46,000 sq ft (4,300 m²) Tudor-style former residence is on 16 acres (6.5 ha) of land. When it was built, it cost over $4 million (equivalent to about $63 million in 2021) and was the most expensive home in California.

Greystone Mansion & Gardens is a popular event site for weddings, corporate events, photo shoots, meetings, and other private functions. Long an iconic location for motion picture and television shoots, Greystone has been featured in dozens of films, including The Big Lebowski, Spider-Man, The Social Network, and There Will Be Blood.

In addition to numerous events that take place there, the mansion plays host each year to Catskills West, a theater arts and drama camp run by Beverly Hills Parks and Recreation, from mid-June to early August. The camp presents a play in the pool area twice during the summer.

The mansion is also a venue for the play The Manor, by Kathrine Bates, directed by Beverly Olevin, and produced by Theatre 40 of Beverly Hills, which takes place in various rooms. The audience is separated during the play to watch scenes in a different order. The Manor‘s plot is a fictionalized account of the Doheny family, including Doheny’s involvement in the Teapot Dome scandal and his son’s murder. It has been performed every year at Greystone Mansion since 2002, making it Los Angeles’ longest-running play.
