The William Trowbridge Forbes House was a historic house at 23 Trowbridge Road in Worcester, Massachusetts. Built in 1898 to a design by Barker & Nourse, it was one of the city's finest examples of Tudor Revival architecture, with steeply pitched gables, diamond pane windows, and extensive half-timbered stucco exterior. William Forbes, the owner, was a local lawyer and politician who served in the state legislature and as a probate judge. His daughter Harriet is locally notable for her interest in, and photography of, local architectural history.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980. The house was demolished in November 2003.
