The Alexander Schaeffer House is a historic house museum at 213 South Carpenter Road in Schaefferstown, Heidelberg Township, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania. Built about 1736 and enlarged in 1771, it is a rare example of an 18th-century colonial German-style Weinbauernhouse (transliterated from German as "winemaker's house"), in which a residence and the production of alcohol products are combined in a single building. The house is on the upper Brendle Farms property of Historic Schaefferstown, which offers tours of the house by appointment. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2011.
