The Captain Joseph Drinkwater House is an historic home at 146 Gilman Road in Yarmouth, Maine, United States. Built in 1844,[1] an architectural survey undertaken in 2018 found it had "important ties to Yarmouth history", for it was the home of the seafaring Drinkwater family for over a century.[2]

Sea captain Joseph Drinkwater built the house, which stands at the intersection of Princes Point Road,[3] and it remained in his immediate family until 1873. In 1902, Sumner Drinkwater, another sea captain, purchased the property. It was in his family's possession for 77 years.[2]
The home's English-style barn, which is connected to the main structure, also retains its architectural integrity.[2]
As of 2019, the property was the home of Jeremy Fischer, a member of the Maine House of Representatives.[4]
