The William Waterman House is a historic house in Coventry, Rhode Island. It is located on the west side of Rhode Island Route 102, a short way north of its junction with Bowen Hill Road. The -story wood-frame house was built, probably before 1793, by William Waterman, a descendant of one of Coventry's earliest European settlers. It is five bays wide, with a large central chimney. Its entry is the most elaborate part of the main facade, flanked by paired pilasters and sheltered by a barrel-vaulted portico with triangular pediment.[1]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
