The Apheus Truett House is a building in Franklin, Tennessee, United States, that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1988.

The Alpheus Truett House is among the best two-story vernacular I-house examples in the county (along with the William King House, the Old Town (aka Thomas Brown House), the Claiborne Kinnard House, the Beverly Toon House, and the Stokely Davis House).[2]: 42 

It includes Central passage plan architecture. The NRHP listing is for an area of 5.2 acres (2.1 ha), with one contributing building and two non-contributing structures.[1]

It is one of about thirty "significant brick and frame residences" surviving in Williamson County that were built during 1830 to 1860 and "were the center of large plantations " and display "some of the finest construction of the ante-bellum era." It faces on the Franklin and Columbia Pike that ran south from Brentwood to Franklin to Columbia.[2]
