The Campbell–Whittlesey House, also known as the Benjamin Campbell House, in Rochester, New York is a historic Greek Revival home, designed by architect Minard Lafever. It was built in 1836, and added to the National Register of Historic Places on February 18, 1971.

Campbell was a flour miller,^[2] as were many of Rochester's first residents. The home featured parlors painted in a dozen different colors and furniture stenciled with gold.^[2]

From 1939^[2] until July 2010, the house served as a museum operated by the Landmark Society of Western New York.^[3] In February 2010, the Society announced plans to sell the house to private interests, saying it would close as a museum by July 1.^[2] The Landmark Society cited decreased attendance—school visits, for example, decreased from 1,300 students in 2003 to 300 in 2009—and the society's shifting mission as explanations for the decision.^[2]

It is located within the boundaries of the Third Ward Historic District.^[4]
