X-Mansion and Xavier Institute are the common names for a mansion and research institute appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. The mansion is depicted as the private estate of Charles Francis Xavier and serves as the base of operations and training site of the X-Men. It is also the location of an accredited private school for mutant children, teenagers, and sometimes older aged mutants, the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning, formerly the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters.[1] The X-Mansion is also the worldwide headquarters of the X-Corporation.

The X-Mansion's address is 1407 Graymalkin Lane, Salem Center, located in Westchester County, New York.[2] The school's motto is mutatis mutandis. In a 2011 edition of the comic, Wolverine re-opens the school, at the same address, under the name of the Jean Grey School for Higher Learning.[3] After the Terrigen Cloud becomes toxic enough to mutants that they die from M-Pox, Storm has the mansion (renamed X-Haven) moved to Limbo to keep mutants safe from the Terrigen while a cure is sought.[4] After Medusa destroys the Terrigen Cloud so the mutants could survive, Kitty Pryde moves the mansion from Limbo to Central Park, New York,[5] and renames it the Xavier Institute for Mutant Education and Outreach.[6] Following the end of the Krakoa Age, the X-Mansion has been converted into a prison to house the mysterious Inmate-X, later revealed to be Charles Xavier himself, forcing the remaining members of the X-men to forge a newly acquired base of their own.
