The Butler House was a historic home of importance to local African American history and located at Oxon Hill, Prince George's County, Maryland, United States. Henry Alexander Butler, a free African American man from Charles County, moved with his family to the property in 1853, and the property has been continuously associated with the Butler family. Henry Butler became a Reconstruction era community leader, serving as trustee of the nearby Freedmen's Bureau school. The Butler House was a 2+1⁄2-story, one room deep wood-frame and log residence covered in cast stone. It sat in a secluded, forested area, adjacent to the Oxon Hill Children's Farm.^[2] As of December 2010, the house is in a severely dilapidated condition. In 2020 the house collapsed and the property was sold in 2019.

The Butler House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.^[1]
