The Fischer House is a historic mansion in downtown Austin, Texas, United States, completed in 1882. Its builder, Joseph Fischer, was a prominent mason in Austin at the time, and its bold high Victorian era, Italianate architecture and ornamentation reflect his family's skill in the trade.

The home is located at 1008 West Avenue. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 16, 1982.[1] The house is also a City of Austin Historic Landmark and is listed as the Burlage - Fischer House on that register.
