The James B. Jameson House, also known as the Jameson-Harsh House, is a historic house in Gallatin, Tennessee, U.S..

The house was built circa 1844 by John Fontville, who also built Oakland in Gallatin and Greenfield in Castalian Springs.[2] The original owner, James B. Jameson, was a farmer who owned 19 slaves in 1860.[2] It was later owned by his granddaughter Eliza, who lived here with her husband, physician Edward Carr.[2] The house remained in the Jameson family until 1920.[2]

The house was designed in the Federal architectural style, with a Greek Revival portico.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 25, 1985.[3]
