Ambrose Parsons House is a historic home located at Springs in Suffolk County, New York. It was built in 1842 and 1851, and is a frame Greek Revival style residence. It is a two-story structure with a random ashlar, granite foundation. It has a square plan (31 ft (9.4 m) by 31 ft (9.4 m)), cedar shingle siding with corner boards, cedar wood shingle roofing, a one-story kitchen wing, and two principal elevations.[2] The house is next door to the Charles Parsons Blacksmith Building.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.[1] Though the NRHP lists the site as being at Springs-Fireplace Road at the Junction with Old Stone Highway, it's actually at the corner of Springs-Fireplace Road and Parson's Place, which is near the address given by NRHP.
