The Whidden-Ward House is a historic house in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. It is located on The Hill, a cluster of historic properties south of Deer Street which was created as part of a road widening project. The 2-1/2 story wood frame Georgian style house is thought to have been built in the early 1720s by Michael Whidden, a joiner. After his death in 1773 the house was purchased by Nathum Ward, who extensively renovated the property, giving it most of its surviving late-Georgian appearance. The only major addition to the house was a 19th-century leanto extension to the rear.
The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
