The Capt. William Hallett House is a historic house in the Hyannis village of Barnstable, Massachusetts, USA.
This 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame house was built c. 1800, and exhibits a distinctive combination of Federal and Queen Anne styling.

In the mid-19th century the house belonged to William Hallett, a ship's captain, and around the turn of the 20th century by Dr. Charles Harris, a noted local physician and author of Hyannis Sea Captains.
