The John Hart House is a historic house in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. It is located on The Hill, a cluster of closely spaced houses south of Deer Street, some of which were relocated there during a road widening project. When first built in the mid-18th century, this house was a two story wood frame structure. Early in the 18th century a third floor was added, and it was given extensive Federal style treatment. These alterations included the replacement of original Georgian windows with long windows with eared surrounds. In the 1830s the Greek Revival portico was added, and Victorian fireplaces were also added.

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