The Calhoun Farmhouse is a historic house located at 2575 LA 821, about 5.5 miles (8.9 km) west of Ruston, Louisiana, USA.

Built around 1880 on a parcel owned by Mrs. John D. Calhoun, the house is a frame residence in Italianate style. Around 1890, a rear kitchen service wing was added, transforming the L-shaped building into an U-shaped one. A few minor alterations were made in 1952 and 1960, which included the enclosure of rear galleries and the addition of a carport which is considered a non-contributing structure.[2][3]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on May 3, 1982.[1]
