The Moses Morse House is a historic house in Methuen, Massachusetts, USA. It is a rare surviving farmhouse in the town with 18th century origins, with its oldest elements dating to c. 1762. It is a 2½ story wood-frame house with a massive central chimney, and a small single story ell on the left side. The ell appears to date from near the house's original construction, and the chimney is slightly off-center, indicating the house may have been built in stages. The front door is sheltered by an elaborate Italianate portico that is a c. 1870s modification.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
