The Gen. Gideon Foster House is a historic house in Peabody, Massachusetts. The two story Federal style wood-frame house was built in the early 1800s at a location on Main Street. The house was bought in 1815 by Gideon Foster, a local veteran of the American Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. The house was later owned by Eben Sutton, a local textile manufacturer, who sold the house so that it could be moved to make way for a larger house on the same lot.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, and included in the Washington Street Historic District in 1985. It is the current home of the Peabody Historical Society, which acquired the property in 1916.
