The '''Rathbun House''' is a historic house at 343 Beacon Drive in North Kingstown, Rhode Island. It is a {{frac|1|1|2}}-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a large central chimney. Its exterior trim is simple and lacking in significant detailing. The interior plan is a typical five-room setup, with a narrow entry hall, two rooms on either side of the chimney, and the kitchen behind. It is one of a small number of surviving mid-18th century farmhouses in the town. It was probably one of four houses built in the area by members of the Rathbun family.<ref name=NRHP>{{cite web|url=http://www.preservation.ri.gov/pdfs_zips_downloads/national_pdfs/north_kingstown/noki_historic-resources-of-north-kingstown.pdf|title=Historic Resources of North Kingstown (PDF pages 38-39)|publisher=Rhode Island Preservation|accessdate=2014-11-10}}</ref>
