The James Perry House is a historic house at 121 Perryville Road in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. This -story cottage was built c. 1860 by James Perry, a wealthy manufacturer, and is one of Rehoboth's finest Italianate houses. Its center entry is flanked by sidelight windows and pilasters, topped by a narrow entablature. The eaves are bracketed and modillioned, and there are round-arch windows in the gables. The land on which it was built belonged to members of the Perry family from 1831, and overlooked a mill operated by the family.[1]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
