Elliott Coues House was a home of 19th-century ornithologist Elliott Coues. It is at 1726 N Street NW, in the Dupont Circle neighborhood of Washington, D.C.

Coues led great expansions of the knowledge of North American bird life. He helped found the American Ornithologists' Union in 1883 and edited about 15 volumes of journals, memoirs, and diaries by famous Western explorers and fur traders.

He lived in this house from 1887 until his death in 1899. The house was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1975.^[2]^[3]
