Harville House is a historic mansion in Statesboro, Georgia.

Samuel Winkler Harville (December 17, 1826-?) who served as a delegate from Bulloch County to Georgia's 1862 Secession Convention in Milledgeville purchased the 754-acre property in 1862. He voted for secession. His son Keebler Henry Harville build a one-story house on the property in 1894 and added a second floor ten years later.

He added to the property which grew to 2,800 acres and included a grist mill, sawmill, cotton gin, two story smokehouse, ice house, syrup house and commissary. He also harvested peanuts some of which he sold pickled and purchased a corn snapper.
