President's House, Naval War College (also known as Quarters AA) is a national historic site that is part of the Naval War College in Newport, Rhode Island. The building is a wooden, three-story, colonial revival building located on a hill on Coaster's Harbor Island, overlooking Coaster's Harbor, Dewey Field, and Narragansett Bay.

The house was built in 1896 at the cost of $16,226. It was listed on the National Historic Register in 1989 as building #89001219.

Built originally as "Quarters B" for the commandant of the Naval Training Station, Newport, the first president of the Naval War College to occupy it in June 1903 was Rear Admiral French Ensor Chadwick. With the exception of the two presidencies of Charles Stillman Sperry in 1903-1906 and William Ledyard Rodgers in 1911-13, War College Presidents have used the House since that time. Among the most famous residents of the house have been admirals William S. Sims, Raymond Spruance, Stansfield Turner, and James Bond Stockdale.
