The Edward Yeomans House is a historic house on the waterfront of Palmer Cove on Brook Street in the Noank section of Groton, Connecticut. It is a 1-1/2 story gambrel-roofed wood frame structure, whose construction history dates to 1713. At that time Edward Yeomans built a five-bay center-chimney structure with gable roof, on land that was contested by the local Pequot people. Before 1760, a sixth bay was added, and the roof replaced by the gambrel roof. In the early 19th century, a shed-roof kitchen addition was added, and the main entrance relocated from the south to the north side of the house. The house is believed to be the oldest in Noank.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 22, 1978.
