Cooper House, also known as Wilds House, is a historic home located at Kenton, Kent County, Delaware. The house was built about 1794, as a two-story, three bay, side hall plan stuccoed brick structure. A two-story rear wing was added in the latter half of the 19th century. Fugitive slaves on the Underground Railroad were harbored in a secret room over the kitchen.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
