Amis House is a still-extant pioneer settlement in Hawkins County, Tennessee near Rogersville built by the father-in-law of Rogersville founder Joseph Rogers in 1781. The estate consisted of: the home (which also served as an inn for travelers), a tavern, a general store, a small school, a distillery, a post office and, in times of necessity, a fort for protection from hostile, nearby Native Americans.

It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
