Chettle House is a Grade I listed house in Chettle, Dorset, England.

Chettle House was built in 1710, designed by the architect Thomas Archer. It was built for George Chafin.

It was bought by the banker William Castleman in 1846, who together with his solicitor son Charles Castleman built the first railway into Dorset in 1845-47, the Southampton and Dorchester Railway, which was known as "Castleman's Corkscrew" because of its convoluted route.

Pevsner called it "the plum among Dorset houses of the early 18th century, and even nationally outstanding as a specimen of English Baroque".

In the 1950s, the house was converted into flats.
