The Ebenezer Maxwell House is a historic mansion in the West Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
The house was built in 1859 by Ebenezer Maxwell (1827–1870), a wealthy cloth merchant, for $10,000. The building's designer is uncertain, but it has been attributed to Samuel Sloan.
The masonry building is two-and-a-half stories, with a three-story tower. The main roof is mansard, with slate covering. The house features three porches and four stone chimneys.
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971; it is a contributing property of the Tulpehocken Station Historic District. The mansion and its gardens are now operated as a house museum.
