The Luther Winslow Jr. House is a historic house located at 5225 North Main Street in Fall River, Massachusetts. It was built in 1795 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

The 1-1/2 story farmhouse is a fine example of 18th century vernacular architecture which has remained remarkably intact. Typical features include the 5-bay plan, large central chimney, clapboard sheathing, pilasters framing the center door, transom lights, 12/l2 sash, corner boards and wide entablature. It is one of six houses in the Steep Brook area considered to be the best representatives of the pre-industrial period of the city's history.
