The Wyatt House is a historic house at Gainer Ferry Road and Arkansas Highway 25 in Desha, Arkansas. It is a two-story I-house, three bays wide, with a side gable roof, end chimneys, and a single-story ell extending to the rear. The oldest portion of the house, its first floor, was built about 1870 as a dogtrot. In about 1900, the breezeway of the dogtrot was enclosed, and the second story and ell were added. The property also includes a stone wellhouse dating to the enlargement. The house was built by Samuel Wyatt, a veteran of the American Civil War.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.
