The Moses Taft House is a historic house at 111 East Wallum Lake Road in Burrillville, Rhode Island. The 1+1⁄2-story side-gable Cape style house was built in 1786, and is a well-preserved example of early Federal architecture. It exhibits the typical five-bay facade, with the entry in the center bay, and a large central chimney. The house underwent a major restoration in the 2000s. Moses Taft, an early owner of the house, was a farmer and operated a nearby grist mill^[2] on the Clear River, with Seth Ross, who resided on Eagle Peak Road.^[2]

Moses Taft, a 19th-century resident of Uxbridge, Massachusetts, spent time with Samuel W. Scott in Burrillville, but this house is not his namesake, it was built 26 years prior to his birth.^[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2009.
