Kateland is a historic house in unincorporated Grant Parish, Louisiana located about 4.6 miles (7.4 km) miles north of the town of Boyce in neighborhing Rapides Parish.

Built in 1830, it is a rambling house started as an open dogtrot. It is the only known surviving antebellum structure in Grant Parish.[2][3]

In the 1880s, the dogtrot corridor was enclosed and the house was extended. A rear extension with a side gallery was built in about 1900, and that gallery was enclosed in the 1920s, when the front gallery's columns were also replaced.[2][3]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 12, 1984.[1]
