The Marvin Tavern, also known as Matthew Marvin House, is a historic house at 405 Danbury Road in Wilton, Connecticut. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, with a hip roof and a large central chimney. Although it was built c. 1760, its most prominent feature is its porch, added c. 1880, which features turned posts, a spindled frieze, and decorative jigsawn brackets. It is also of interest to architectural historians for a number of features, including its flared eaves, which are rare in the region before the 19th century.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
