The John Cloyd House is a historic house in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, U.S.. It was built as a log house in 1791 for Captain John Cloyd, a settler who migrated to Tennessee with Colonel John Donelson.[2][3] It was inherited by his son, John W. Cloyd, followed by the latter's daughter, Ella Cloyd Ligon.[3] By the 1970s, it was owned by her son, Daniel Ligon.[2][3] However, the original log house is only the front room of the modern-day house.[3] The room includes Captain Cloyd's old bed.[3]

It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since October 1, 1974.[1]
