The George Leatherbury House was a historic residence along the shore of Portersville Bay, halfway between Bayou La Batre and Bayou Coden, in southern Mobile County, Alabama, United States. It was built in 1912 by George Scarborough Leatherbury in the local "Bay house" style. Leatherbury owned several lumber companies in Mississippi and operated a naval stores company. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places on June 14, 1990. It was subsequently destroyed on August 29, 2005 by an estimated record-level 12-to-16-foot (3.7 to 4.9 m) storm surge generated by Hurricane Katrina.
