The Ezra Stiles House is an historic house at 14 Clarke Street in Newport, Rhode Island owned by Rev. Ezra Stiles, a president of Yale University.

Stiles lived in the house while serving as a minister for 20 years at the Second Congregational Church on Clarke Street. Stiles owned a slave boy that he acquired through an investment in a slaving expedition. Stiles freed his slave when he left Newport to serve at Yale in 1777. Stiles House is currently a private residence and was added to the National Historic Register in 1972.
