The William Gibbs House is a historic house in Waltham, Massachusetts. Built c. 1830–54, this 2+12-story wood-frame house is one Waltham's few temple-front Greek Revival houses. It has four two-story Corinthian columns supporting a fully pedimented gable with a deep, dentillated cornice. It was probably built in the 1840s by William Gibbs, a hat manufacturer, and was sold by him to another hat maker who lost it to foreclosure.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
