Clement Weaver-Daniel Howland House, an historic house, built ca. 1679 in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, is one of the oldest documented residences in Kent County, Rhode Island and possibly the oldest private home in the State of Rhode Island.

Clement Weaver, a native of Staffordshire, England, built the house in 1679 after fighting in King Phillip's War. Subsequent owners made several additions over the next 250 years. Norman Isham, a prominent architect, restored on the house in the early 20th century. The National Historical Register added the house in 1987 as building #87001977.
