The Cable House and Station is a historic telecommunications building on Lincoln Street at Harbor Road in Sitka, Alaska. It is a modest two-story building, about 40 feet (12 m) square, with a hip roof. The building housed the telecommunications hub of the Washington-Alaska Military Cable and Telegraph System (WAMCATS), a military communications network established in the first decade of the 20th century, during the period of the Alaska boundary dispute with neighboring Canada.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
