Harper House is a historic home located near Four Oaks, North Carolina, Johnston County, North Carolina. It was built about 1855, and is a two-story, three-bay, vernacular Greek Revival style frame dwelling. It sits on the original brick pier foundation and has a hipped roof and interior end chimneys. The front facade features a two-story pedimented portico. The house served as a Union field hospital during the Battle of Bentonville (March 19–21, 1865) and is located adjacent to the Bentonville Battlefield state historic site visitors center, which offers tours of its interior.^[2] It was bought by the state in 1957. Before the state's acquisition of the property, it was privately owned by the Dunn family, and before them the Thorntons. It served as a home for 6 of the Harper children, and two of the Harpers grandchildren during the battle.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970.^[1] It is located in the Bentonville Battleground State Historic Site.
