Redhouse is an unincorporated community in Madison County, Kentucky, in the United States. It is located at the junction of Kentucky Route 388 and Kentucky Route 3377.

Redhouse was settled in the 1840s. The origin of the name is debated, as it could have been named after the nearby Red House Tavern, or a large red brick house.[2] A post office for the town opened in 1883, and closed in 1954.
