The Maj. John Gilman House is a historic house at 34 Cass Street in Exeter, New Hampshire. The 2-1/2 story wood frame house was built in 1738 by Colonel John Gilman for his son, also named John. The elder Gilman lived in the nearby Gilman Garrison House, in which his son was born. This house is the best-preserved local example of a Georgian gambrel-roof house, further notable for its association with the locally prominent Gilman family.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
