The John R. Waterman House is an historic house at 100 Old Homestead Road in Warwick, Rhode Island. The 2-1/2 story wood frame house was built c. 1800 by John R. Waterman, a prominent local farmer and politician. Waterman played a significant role in what became known as Dorr's Rebellion, an ultimately successful attempt to force liberalizing changes to the state constitution. The house is an excellent local example of Federal style, and is locally distinct for its use of paired interior chimneys instead of a large central one.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
