The Dr. Philip Turner House is a historic house at 29 West Town Street in Norwich, Connecticut. It is a colonial-era "half house", three bays wide, with clapboard siding and a large chimney behind the entrance, which is in the rightmost bay. A rear leanto section, giving the house a classic saltbox profile, is a later addition. The house is believed to date to the late 17th century. At the time of the American Revolutionary War it was probably owned by Dr. Philip Turner, a leading surgeon for the Continental Army.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1970.[1]
