Captain Oliver Gardiner House is an historic house prominently located at 4451 Post Road in Warwick, Rhode Island. Built about 1750, it is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure with a gambrel roof. Its main facade has six irregularly-spaced bays, with a centrally positioned entrance. The house is unusual for its period in that it has a large central hallway, a feature not commonly seen until the Federal period. Oliver Gardiner, its first owner, was a ship's captain.[2]

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