The Gov. Samuel Huntington House is a historic house at 34 East Town Street in Norwich, Connecticut. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, five bays wide, with a side gable roof and clapboard siding. Its most prominent feature is a monumental entry portico, rising a full two stories to a gabled pediment, supported by paired columns. The main entry is flanked by sidelight windows and a carved woodwork surround, and there is a latticework porch above. The house was built in 1783 by Samuel Huntington (1731–96), a signer of the United States Declaration of Independence and a Governor of Connecticut. The entry portico and wide entry section are 19th-century alterations.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 6, 1970.
