The James Steel House is a historic home located at Newark, New Castle County, Delaware. The original section, a two-story, two-bay, double-pile, stuccoed brick structure, is dated to the late 18th century. It was doubled in size about 1882, with the facade addition of a two-story, two-bay, frame wing. It features a two-story bay window on the endwall, a pointed-arch attic window, and German siding. The main block has had a series of rear additions during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, creating an overall T-plan.[2]

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