The Benjamin Colton House is a historic house at 25 Sedgewick Road in West Hartford, Connecticut. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure on a brownstone foundation, with five bays and a large central chimney. The main entrance and the windows are simply trimmed, and the second story hangs slightly over the front and rear. Probably built in the mid-18th century, it is one of West Hartford's few surviving 18th century houses. It was probably built for Benjamin Colton, the son of the area's first pastor, and was occupied in the 19th century by the town's only doctor.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 10, 1986.
