The C.J.H. Bassett House is a historic house located at 20 Chestnut Street in Taunton, Massachusetts. The house was built in 1851 for Charles Jarvis Hunt Bassett, a prominent Taunton attorney and president of the Taunton Bank.

The house is a rare example in the city of a Gothic Revival residence. The 2-1/2 story frame house features an irregular plan and a belcast gable roof with Gothic Revival influenced vergeboards, incised and punched with quatrefoil motifs, and pointed arch dormer windows.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.
