Stratton Manor is a historic plantation house located near Cape Charles, Northampton County, Virginia. It was built in the third quarter of the 18th century, and is a 1 1/2-story, single-pile, gable roof house with a wood-frame core of three bays with brick ends. A two-story ell was added in the first quarter of the 20th century. It is a characteristic example of the 18th-century vernacular architecture distinctive of Virginia's Eastern Shore.

The house has the name of Benjamin Stratton, the original owner of the site. Stratton Manor was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
