The John Humphreys House, also known as Sir John Humphreys House, is a historic house located at 99 Paradise Road in Swampscott, Massachusetts. It is currently a house museum owned by the Swampscott Historical Society. The house was surveyed by architectural historian Richard Candee in 1986; the estimated date of the house, based on style, is 1700.[3]

The building was originally located on what is now Elmwood Road (a plaque marks the site), but moved to its current location in 1891 as the Olmsted district was developed.[4]
