The Richard Sparrow House is an historic house at 42 Summer Street in Plymouth, Massachusetts and the oldest surviving house in Plymouth.

The house was built around 1640 by Richard Sparrow, an English surveyor who arrived in Plymouth in 1633.[2] He was granted a 6 acre tract of land in 1636 on which the house was later built.[3] Sparrow moved to Eastham in 1653.[4] The Richard Sparrow House was added to the National Historic Register in 1974.[1]
