Ashburton House, also known as St. John's Church Parish House or British Legation, is a house on Lafayette Square in Washington, D.C..

It was the site of 10 months of U.S.-British negotiations leading to the Webster-Ashburton Treaty of 1842. This settled U.S.-Canada border disputes and ended the Aroostook War.

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1973.citation|title=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/73002071.pdf National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: St. John's Church Parish House / Ashburton House (British Legation)] |32 KB|date=April 13, 1973 |author=Benjamin Levy and Paul Ghioto |publisher=National Park Service and PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Photos/73002071.pdf "Accompanying three photos, exterior and interior, from 1973"] |32 KB]
