Woodville, also known as the Neville House or John Neville House, is a house on Washington Pike (PA 50) south of Heidelberg, Pennsylvania. It is significant for its association with John Neville, a tax collector whose other house was burned in the Whiskey Rebellion in 1794. The oldest portion of the house dates to 1775, with a main section built a decade later. It is one of the oldest houses in Allegheny County, preserved and restored to its original condition.

For those reasons, it was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1983.citation|title=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/74001733.pdf National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: Woodville / Neville House] |32 KB|date=March, 1973 |author=James D.
