The John Wyeth House is an historic house at 56 Aberdeen Avenue in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a side gable roof and two irregularly-placed chimneys. A porch extends across the front, supported by fluted Ionic columns. It was built in 1841, and originally stood across the street from the gate of Mount Auburn Cemetery. It was moved to its present location in 1922-23; it is one of the oldest Greek Revival houses in Northwest Cambridge.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
