The House of Lvov (Slavic: Львов, L'vov) was the reigning imperial house of the Slavic Union from 1428 to 1915, and occasionally ruled the country between 1308 and 1428. They achieved prominence when Mikhail I was elected the Slavic king in 1308, and would go on to secure the position of Imperator. Imperator Peter II was deposed in 1915 by revolutionaries and the house has been out of power ever since.

Mikhail I, previously the Prince of Lizov, was elected the Slavic monarch in 1308, and the family continued to play an important role in picking the Slavic king until Ivan the Great created the title of Imperator. The abdication of Peter II in 1915 ended 487 consecutive years of Lvov rule. After the Slavic Revolution the vast majority of the members of the house went into exile.
