The Wyckoff House, or Pieter Claesen Wyckoff House, is a historic house at 5816 Clarendon Road in the Canarsie neighborhood of Brooklyn in New York City, within Milton Fidler Park.

It is situated on land that New Netherland director general Wouter van Twiller purchased from the Lenape Indians in approximately 1636.^[5] The house was one of several that Van Twiller ordered to be built before he was recalled to the Netherlands by 1640. It is estimated to have been built before 1641. Pieter Claesen Wyckoff's family moved in around 1652.^[5] The house is one of the oldest surviving examples of a Dutch frame house in America, and it was one of the first structures built by settlers on Long Island. The majority of the current structure was added in the 19th century, with the small kitchen section dating back to the 18th century.

It is owned by New York City but is operated by The Wyckoff House & Association.^[6] It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1967^[4]^[5] and is a New York City designated landmark.^[2]
