The Abel H. Fish House is a historic house at Buckley Hill Road and Rathbun Hill Road in Salem, Connecticut. It is a 2+12-story wood-frame structure, set well back down a former country lane. Built c. 1835, it has Greek Revival features, including an entry flanked by sidelight windows and pilasters, and topped by a transom window and entablature. To the east is a single-story wing, believed to be an older structure.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 2, 1982,[1] as a locally well-preserved example of a rural vernacular Greek Revival farmhouse.[2]
