Duke House, also known as Little River Farm, is a historic home located at Bumpass, Louisa County, Virginia. It was built about 1790, and is a 1 1/2-story, frame dwelling sheathed with beaded weatherboards with an asymmetrical façade and double-shouldered exterior-end brick chimneys. It has a traditional single-pile, central-passage plan. A wing was added to the west end of the house during the first quarter of the 20th century. Also on the property are a contributing frame dependency and family cemetery.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.
