Miller-Kite House, also known as Kite House, is a historic home located at Elkton, Rockingham County, Virginia. It was built in 1827, and is a two-story, five bay, "L"-shaped brick I-house dwelling. It has a cross-gable roof with eaves decorated with sawnwork filigree. It is traditionally believed to have been the headquarters of General Stonewall Jackson during the time that the renowned Valley Campaign was planned in April 1862. The house is a town landmark and museum operated by the Elkton Historical Society.

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