Granada Shoppes and Studios, also known as the Granada Buildings, is a Spanish Colonial Revival courtyard complex designed by Architect Franklin Harper in 1927.

When the architect announced plans for the $1 million project in 1927, the Los Angeles Times described the structure as "something entirely new in Los Angeles, resembling the design of European specialty shops". The complex was designated a Historic Cultural Monument (HCM # 238) by the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission in April 1981 and listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.

A courtyard running between four separate structures functions as both a pathway between the suites and a garden providing shade. Located at 672 S. Lafayette Park Place in the Westlake District of Los Angeles.
