The Capt. Joseph Hinckley House is a historic house at 142 Old Stage Road in Barnstable, Massachusetts. The 1-3/4 story wood frame house was built c. 1850, and is an excellent local instance of Greek Revival architecture. Its front facade is flushboarded on the first floor, with full-length windows. The front porch has a wide entablature that is continued around the sides of the house, and is supported by fluted Doric columns. The property includes a barn that was built c. 1827. It served for a time as a stop on the area stagecoach route, and was also home to Joseph Hinckley, a ship's captain.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
