The Reverend Jessie R. Ziegler Residence is a Frank Lloyd Wright house in Frankfort, Kentucky.

The Ziegler house is the only Frank Lloyd Wright structure built in Kentucky during the lifetime of the famous architect. The design came from a chance meeting between while both were travelling to Europe in the early 1900's. They struck up a conversation and the commission of this structure is the result. The structure was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976. Ziegler was a Presbyterian Minister in Frankfort at the time. The structure is in private hands and is no longer available for tours. The structure is a typical example of Wright's "prairie house."
