The Brewster Homestead is a historic house at 306 Preston Rd. (Connecticut Route 164) in Griswold, Connecticut. It is a 2 12-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with two small interior chimneys. It is finished in vinyl siding, although its original (c. 1740) clapboards are underneath. A 1 12-story ell extends to the rear of the house. The house has been owned by six generations of the Brewster family, and originally was the centerpiece of a farmstead of 135 acres (55 ha).

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.
