The Joseph Robbins House is a historic house at 12 Bay Street in the Osterville village of Barnstable, Massachusetts, USA. The wood-frame Cape style house was built c. 1820-30 by Joseph Robbins, a painter who is also known for painting the figurehead of the USS Constitution. It is a rare local example of Federal styling, with a multi-pane transom window over the main entrance. The house is a 1-1/2 story structure, five bays wide, with a side gable roof and a central chimney.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]
