The Henry Sherburne House is a historic house at 62 Deer Street in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. It is part of a cluster of houses in an area known as The Hill, south of Deer Street, that was created as part of a road widening project. This two story wood frame house was built sometime between 1766 and 1770, and is an unusually large house for this part of Portsmouth in the late Georgian period. Its front doorway is also distinctive, as the only known in situ scrolled pediment doorway to survive from the period in the entire state.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
