The Oscar B. Balch House is a home located in the Chicago suburb of Oak Park, Illinois, United States. The Prairie style Balch House was designed by famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1911.

Historian Thomas O'Gorman noted that the home may provide a glimpse into the subconscious mind of Wright.
