The Boyd-Harvey House, also known as the Boyd House, is an historic home located at 1321 Harvey Road in west Knox County, Tennessee. It was designed in the Federal style and constructed by Thomas Boyd, Jr., and is on the National Register of Historic Places.

The original house is believed to have been constructed in the 1820s or 1830s, with a rear wing added later. Both the original house and the rear wing are constructed of brick, with a corbelled brick cornice above. There is a one-story shed roof porch along the front of the ante-bellum home. The original house has a hip roof, and the rear wing has a gable roof. Interior features of note include federal style fireplace mantels, fluted trim, built-in cupboards flanking the west fireplace, and a stone dairy in the addition.
