The House of Sibirsky (Russian: Сибирских, German: von Siberien), also known in official monarchial traditions as the House of Schönaich-Carolath-Siberia (Russian: Шенаих-Каролат-Сибирских, Shenaikh-Karolat-Sibirsky) is a princely house in the Russian Empire of mixed German-Russian heritage, originating from the German princely House of Schönaich-Carolath.
Its patriarch is Prince Vassily I Ivanovich (originally Prince Hans Georg von Schönaich-Carolath) who married Princess Natalya I Pavlovna Ignatiyeva.
They are currently one of three Russian factions of the House of Schönaich-Carolath, the other two being Schönaich-Carolath-Novgorod and Schönaich-Carolath-Samara.
They became an established knyaz family in the Russian Empire during the Great Farewell. Prince Vassily I and Princess Natalya's children married a mix of Rurikids and Germans. Many are still fluent in German and retain ties with their cousins in the German Empire.
The Rurikid line branched into the House of Schönaich-Carolath-Novgorod and House of Schönaich-Carolath-Samara.
