The Jacob Hunter House near New Liberty, Kentucky is a historic Federal vernacular-style house built in 1818. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
It was built by Revolutionary War veteran Jacob Hunter, whose grandson was Lafayette Hunter.

In 1984 it was noted to be a "good historic archaeologic site; unchanged except by nature."[1]
