The John Greenleaf Whittier Homestead is a historical site located in Haverhill, Massachusetts. The homestead was the birthplace and childhood home of the poet and abolitionist John Greenleaf Whittier. The house was built in 1688 and was owned by the Whittier family for over 200 years.

The house is a two-story wood-framed structure with a gambrel roof and a central chimney.
