Rountree Family Farm, also known as the Alfred Patrick Rountree Farm, is a historic farm complex located near Gatesville, Gates County, North Carolina. The property consists of the property, buildings and outbuildings constructed by four generations of the descendants of Abner Rountree who acquired the family's original holding here in 1800. The Simmons Rountree House was built about 1830, and is a two-story, one-room plan frame house. It has not been occupied as a residence since 1907. The Alfred Patrick Rountree House was built in 1904 and expanded about 1916. It is a two-story frame farmhouse sheathed in weatherboard. Also on the property are the contributing dairy (c. 1904-1915), hand-pump (c. 1910-1915), wood shed (c. 1910-1920), smokehouse (c. 1904), privy (c. 1904-1915), three barns (c. 1904, 1933, c. 1910-1915), stable (c. 1935), and chicken coop (c. 1925).

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.
