Smuggler's House is an historic house at 361 Pearse Road in Swansea, Massachusetts. It is a 1-1/2 story Cape style farmhouse, five bays wide, with a side gable roof, a chimney that is slightly off-center, and a pair of gabled dormers. Its main entry is flanked by pilasters and topped by a five-light transom window. The house was built c. 1800, and is substantially unaltered. It was supposedly used as a place to store smuggled goods during the War of 1812.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.[1]
