The Whalers Cabin near Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, is a historic building that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is located in what is now Point Lobos State Natural Reserve, four miles south of Carmel.

The cabin was built in the 1850s to house Japanese and Chinese fishermen.

The museum also highlights the history of Point Lobos, including its cinematic appearances and plans at the turn of the 20th century to develop the area for densely packed suburban housing.

It was listed on the National Register in 2007; the listing included one contributing building and one contributing site.^[3]
