The Hendrick Martin House is located on Willowbrook Lane in the town of Red Hook, New York, United States, just north of the eponymous village.^{[clarification needed]} It is a stone house built in two phases in the mid- and late 18th century. In 2007 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.^[1]

It has been claimed by its present owners to be the oldest house in the town.^[3] Martin, who may not have been the original owner, was a second-generation Palatine German who chose to settle down in the area. The older sections of the house reflect German building traditions, not as common in the Hudson Valley's stone houses as Dutch ones. Later sections incorporating designs from other cultures present in the area by that period. In the 19th century it passed from the Martins' ownership into others; the most recent owners have undertaken renovations that have both modernized it and brought it back to its original appearance.
