The Capt. Charles Leonard House is a historic house at 663 Main Street in Agawam, Massachusetts.

It was built in 1805 for Captain Charles Leonard, possibly by Asher Benjamin, and is described as Agawam's finest Federalist building. It is a two story hip-roofed Colonial, built in 1805. It has a standard center hall with staircase, with public rooms in front and service rooms in back. A two story wing extends to the north, and a single story wing extends further from that ell.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. It is now owned by a local nonprofit organization, which uses the house to stage community events. It is open for tours, and is available for rental.
