The Perkins-Clark House is a historic house at 49 Woodland Street in Hartford, Connecticut. It is a 2 12-story stuccoed structure, with a steeply pitched roof that has gables decorated with bargeboard, and multiple bands of chimneys with corbelled brick tops. The house was designed by Octavius and Augustus Jordan, and was built in 1861 for Charles Perkins, a lawyer whose clients included Samuel Clemens (aka Mark Twain). This stylish Gothic Revival house is the last residential building on Woodland Street, which was once lined with fashionable properties.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 14, 1978.
