Cherry Hill, also known as Historic Cherry Hill, is a historic home and museum located at Albany, Albany County, New York. It was built in 1768 and is a 2 ¹⁄₂-story, rectangular wood-frame dwelling sheathed in clapboard. It features a gambrel roof with dormers and wooden porches with turned balustrades on the front and north elevations. It was built by Col. Philip van Rensselaer for his bride Maria Sander, granddaughter of Peter Schuyler. It was later occupied by Congressman Solomon van Rensselaer during the early 19th century and occupied by that family for nearly two centuries.^[2] As of October 2010, the house is undergoing restoration.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.^[1]
