York-Gordon House, more accurately known as the Patrick and Mary Gordon house, is a historic dwelling located at New Bern, Craven County, North Carolina. It was built in 1771, as documented by a letter from Patrick Gordon to William Hooper. Susan York lived in an earlier house on this site; her house was probably destroyed in the great storm of 1769 (List of North Carolina hurricanes (pre-1900)). The house is a 1 1/2-story, five bay, frame dwelling with a gambrel roof and Georgian / Federal style design elements. It rests on a brick foundation and features a full-width, one-story shed-roof porch, which was added 1786, based on estate records.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.
