The Robert King Hooper Mansion, built in 1728, is a historic house in Marblehead, Massachusetts. The oldest section of the mansion was built by candlemaker Greenfield Hooper, and his son, Robert "King" Hooper, expanded the house, adding its three-story Georgian façade c. 1745. Hooper made his fortune through the transatlantic fishing business.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, and included in the Marblehead Historic District in 1984.

The mansion is currently used by the Marblehead Arts Association as its headquarters. The Association hosts changing exhibits of art and photography for individuals and groups every six weeks in its seven galleries, as well as art classes and community events.
