The Littlefield-Roberts House is an historic house at 16 Prescott Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The 2.5 story wood frame house was built in 1873 by Joseph Littlefield, and is one of the finest late Second Empire houses in the city. The main facade has a heavily ornamented entry on the left, and a full-height projecting bay on the right that is capped by a polygonal roof. The roof is pierced by hip-roofed dormers whose windows have decorated surrounds.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
