The Port Royal House is a historic house at 606 Main Street in Chatham, Massachusetts. The two story wood frame house was built in 1863 by Seth Eldredge, a ship's captain. The Italianate villa was reportedly based on a house in Port Royal, Jamaica seen by Captain Eldredge, who acquired its plans and had it copied. It has a low-pitch hip roof whose eave is decorated with paired brackets, the corners have paneled piasters, and a single-story porch extends across the front, supported by fluted columns mounted on paneled piers.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
