The Gen. Jedidiah Huntington House is a historic house at 23 East Town Road in Norwich, Connecticut. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, five bays wide, with a gable roof, twin brick chimneys, clapboard siding, and a stone foundation. The entry is particularly elaborate, with sidelight windows and pilasters flanking the door, and a semi-elliptical transom window and simple cornice above. The house was built in 1765, and was home to Jedediah Huntington (1743–1818), an American general in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. It is also included, as a contributing property, in the Norwichtown Historic District.
