Simonds Tavern is a historic tavern building in Lexington, Massachusetts. It is a 2+12-story wood-frame structure, eight bays wide, with two front entrances and asymmetrically placed chimneys. The first portion of the building was built c. 1794 by Joshua Simonds, who also ran a tavern near Fiske Hill. He began operating a tavern at this site in 1802, and enlarged the building 1810 after Bedford Street was cut through the area. The building's interior has well-preserved Federal details.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1] It is now residences.
