The Amos Morse House is a historic house at 77 North Street in Foxborough, Massachusetts. It is two-story wood frame house, five bays wide, with a hip roof and twin interior chimneys. It was built in 1803 by Amos Morse, Sr., for his children, Amos Jr. and Sarah. One of its ells was used by the Morses as a shop for producing straw hats, a significant industry in early 19th-century Foxborough.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986,[1] when it was still in the hands of Morse descendants.[2]
