The Margaret Fuller House was the birthplace and childhood home of American transcendentalist Margaret Fuller (1810-1850). It is located at 71 Cherry Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts, and is now a National Historic Landmark.

The three-story, wooden, Federal style house was built in the early 1800s, and was Fuller's home from birth until age 16. In 1902 it became the Margaret Fuller House of Cambridge, a settlement house providing information and services to help immigrants assimilate into American culture. It is now known as the Margaret Fuller Neighborhood House.
