Lawrence House is a Georgian townhouse at 9 Castle Street, Launceston, Cornwall. It is today owned by the National Trust but let to Launceston Town Council, who use it as a local museum and civic centre.
The house was built in 1753, and is a fine example of its time, though it is far from alone; John Betjemen described this street described as having "the most perfect collection of 18th Century townhouses in Cornwall".
