The Larkin-Rice House is a historic house at 180 Middle Street in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. This three-story brick house was built c. 1813-15 by Samuel Larkin, an auctioneer who made a fortune selling off assets seized by local privateers during the War of 1812. The house features an unusual facade, with five Palladian windows set in recessed brick arches, three on the second level and two on the first, flanking the main entry, which is also set into a similar arch and has a fanlight above. A period stable and carriage house also survives on the property.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
