Kyle House is a historic home located at Fayetteville, Cumberland County, North Carolina.

The original Kyle House, home to merchant James Kyle, burned in a city fire in 1831.[1] Rumor had it that the great fire began in the Kyle House's kitchen.[2] It was then rebuilt in about 1855 as a two-story, five-bay, brick town house with Greek Revival and Italianate style design elements. It features a three-bay wide one-story porch with a flat roof supported by four fluted Doric order columns.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
