Belvidere, also known as the Exum Newby House and Lamb House, is a historic plantation house located at Belvidere, Perquimans County, North Carolina. It was built about 1767, and is a 1 1/2-story, five bay, frame dwelling with an unusual hip on gambrel roof. The Georgian style dwelling is sheathed in weatherboard and rests on a brick pier foundation. In the mid-1970s, Belvidere was sold to radio personality Wolfman Jack.

The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.
