Wildwood is a historic house at 808 Park Avenue in Hot Springs, Arkansas. It is a somewhat rambling 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a variety of projecting sections, gables, and porches typical of the late Victorian Queen Anne period. Notable features include a round corner turret, steeply pitched roofs, and a variety of exterior sheathing. The interior is as ornate and elaborate as the exterior, with well-preserved woodwork from different types of hardwood in each downstairs room. The house was designed by Phillip Van Patten and built in 1884 for his brother-in-law, Dr. Harvey Prosper Ellsworth. The house is now a bed and breakfast inn.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
