The John Rogers House is a historic house at 690 Leete's Island Road in Branford, Connecticut. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, five bays wide, with a side gable roof, a large central chimney, and a center entry sheltered by a bracketed hood. Long thought to have been built c. 1810, it has been carefully researched to date to the middle 18th century, belonging for many years to the locally prominent Rogers family.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 1, 1988.[1]
