The Jackie Robinson House is a historic house at 5224 Tilden Avenue in the New York City borough of Brooklyn. Built c. 1912-1916, it is prominent as the home of baseball great Jackie Robinson from 1947, when he was awarded Rookie of the Year, through 1949, when he was voted Most Valuable Player.

The Jackie Robinson House is located in Brooklyn's East Flatbush neighborhood, at the southwest corner of Tilden Avenue and East 53nd Street.
