The Richard Sanger III House is a historic house at 60 Washington Street in Sherborn, Massachusetts. The 2-1/2 story timber frame house was built c. 1734, with a rear leanto added around 1775. It is unusual in the town as an 18th-century gambrel-roofed house with leanto. Sanger was the son of a Boston merchant, and one of the few people on the town documented to own slaves.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
