Ochre Court is a large châteauesque mansion in Newport, Rhode Island.
Commissioned by Ogden Goelet, it was built in 1892 and is one of the many famed mansions in Newport that served as summer residences for New York City's wealthy socialite class.
Ochre Court is the second largest mansion in Newport after The Breakers, which is nearby. These two mansions, along with Belcourt Castle (the third largest mansion) and Marble House, were designed by architect Richard Morris Hunt. It is currently owned by Salve Regina University.
