The John and Elizabeth Kinsman House is a historic house near Milwaukie, Oregon, United States. Completed in 1964, it is a locally significant and almost unaltered example of the Contemporary Style of the late 1950s and early 1960s, which emphasized local materials and indoor-outdoor living and rejected continuity with earlier stylistic conventions. The house is set in landscaped grounds that are also unaltered from the historic period. Designer/builder John Kinsman built the house for himself and his wife Elizabeth using design elements characteristic of the mid-century period that he had also employed on his other projects.

The house was entered on the National Register of Historic Places in 2021.
