The Anne C. and Frank B. Semple House is an historic house in the Stevens Square/Loring Heights neighborhood of Minneapolis, Minnesota. It is located on the same block as the George R. Newell House and the George W. and Nancy B. Van Dusen House.[cite book |last=Millett |first=Larry |authorlink=Larry Millett |title=AIA Guide to the Twin Cities: The Essential Source on the Architecture of Minneapolis and St. Paul |year=2007] The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.]The house was built in the Beaux-Arts architectural style, reflecting a shift in style toward the classicism of the Renaissance and away from Victorian ideals.

The entry on Franklin Avenue has a balustraded entry porch with Ionic columns, a detailed Palladian window, and a rounded bay. The interior has a reception hall with mahogany paneling, a hardwood floor with marble inlays, and a frescoed ceiling. Interior spaces include a 1000 square foot living room and a ballroom.
The mansion is now available as a reception site for weddings and other events.
