The Timothy Goodman House is a historic house at 567 Quaker Lane South in West Hartford, Connecticut. It is a 2-1/2 story wood frame structure, five bays wide, with a large central chimney and a rear leanto section, giving it a saltbox appearance. The doors, windows, and house corners all have simple trim. It was probably built by Timothy Goodman, who purchased the land in 1751 from the grandfather of Noah Webster. It is one of West Hartford's few surviving 18th-century houses.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 10, 1986.[1]
