The Dr. Charles Cotton House is a colonial house in Newport, Rhode Island.

The original portion of the house was built around 1720 with large Georgian style additions in the 18th century and modifications in the nineteenth century. Dr. Charles Cotton owned the house in the early 19th century and gave the house its current hame. The Cotton House was purchased by Newport Restoration Foundation in 1974 from the Cotton family who owned the house for one hundred and fifty-seven years. The Foundation moved the house in 1977 from its original location across the adjoining parking lot. The house was restored from 1979 to 1980. The site added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 as building #72000026.
