The Francis F. Palmer House is a mansion located at 75 East 93rd Street in New York City. It was designed by the architects Delano & Aldrich and constructed for Francis F. Palmer in 1914. George F. Baker, Jr. purchased the house in 1917, and engaged Delano & Aldrich to design several additions: an annex on Park Avenue; a ballroom wing; a house for staff at 69 East 93rd Street. The placement of the original house, the ballroom and the staff quarters form a small garden facing East 93rd Street.

Baker added a separate townhouse to the complex at 67 East 93rd Street, also designed by Delano & Aldrich, to be used as a residence for Baker's father, George F. Baker Sr.. The house was completed in October 1931, but the father died at his Madison Avenue home before he could move into the new house. The house is currently (2015) owned by the financier Dick Jenrette.
