Madame John's Legacy is a house in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana. The name is taken from a story by George Washington Cable. The house was built in 1788, after a fire destroyed much of the neighborhood. The house was rebuilt in the older French colonial style, rather than the then current Spanish style.

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1970.citation|title=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/70000256.pdf National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: Madame John's Legacy] |416 KB|date=July 03, 1975 |author=Patricia Heintzelman |publisher=National Park Service and PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Photos/70000256.pdf "Accompanying 4 photos, exterior, from 1975."] |0.99 MB]

The site was restored at a cost of $265,000 during 1972-1974.
