The Samuel Dyer House is a historic Queen Anne-style house in Castle Rock, Colorado, United States. The house's original portion was constructed c. 1875 by Samuel Dyer, the son of the itinerant Methodist minister and Colorado pioneer John Lewis Dyer. It is thought to be the oldest surviving house in Castle Rock. It is located within the Craig and Gould neighborhood, with the property the only one that still retains its original size and outbuildings.
The house has undergone several restoration efforts and remains a private residence. The 2013–2017 restoration work overlapped with similar work undertaken at the adjacent Benjamin Hammar House. It was added to the Colorado State Register of Historic Properties and the National Register of Historic Places in 2016. The barn on the property is operated as an inn.
