Thomas Dodge Homestead is a historic home located at Port Washington in Nassau County, New York. It is a settlement era farmhouse dated to 1721 with additions completed about 1750 and in 1903. It is a 1 12-story, L-shaped heavy timber-frame building sheathed with natural cedar wood shingles. The main block has a saltbox shape and there is a nearly square, 1 12-story gable-roofed wing. Also on the property are a contributing barn (1880), privy (1886), chicken coop, and shed. It is operated as a historic house museum by the Cow Neck Peninsula Historical Society, which has its headquarters in the Sands-Willets Homestead, another historic house museum.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
