The Colbert House is a historic house museum owned by Washington State Parks and located in Ilwaco, Washington, at the corner of Spruce and Quaker streets. The house was originally built in 1872 and was moved to its current site in 1883. The house was owned by a fishing family and was restored in 1994 to a late 19th-century appearance with Colbert family furnishings and decorative items. Following its restoration, the house was operated by Cape Disappointment State Park as a historic house museum that was open by appointment only. In 2009, the Long Beach Area Parks Management Plan deemed the operation of the building as a house museum to be "not feasible at this time" and that "State Parks will preserve the building until such time as a feasible and sustainable use becomes apparent."

Colbert House is a Washington State Parks Heritage Site and on the National Register of Historic Places.
