The Capt. Josiah Pratt House is a historic house at 141 East Street in Foxboro, Massachusetts. It is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame house, five bays wide, with a hip roof, central chimney, and clapboard siding. Its centered entrance is set in a projecting gable-roofed vestibule. The house was built c. 1760, and is a well-preserved example of Georgian architecture.

He, and also some of his descendants, served as town selectman.[2]
