Sea Call Farm is a historic district in Massachusetts covering the estate of the same name. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in July, 2008.

The property was actively farmed by William A. and Bertha Fiske during 1931-1950, after William's retirement from railway employment. It was one of many small market-garden farms in Orleans and on Cape Cod in general, but now is "the only surviving agricultural ensemble in Orleans and one of the few in the Cape Cod region. Its significance is enhanced by the extensive collection of diaries, account books, and other papers that detail life on the farm...."

It was acquired from the Fiske family by the Town of Orleans in 1987, for conservation.citation|title=PDFlink| [http://www.nps.gov/history/nr/feature/weeklyfeatures/SeaCallFarm.pdf National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: Sea Call Farm] |32 KB|date=May, 2008 |author=Candace Jenkins, Patricia Crow, Christine Beard, and Betsey Friedburg |publisher=National Park Service (41 pages including 10 photos, 2 plans, and a map)]
