John Brown House, also known as the Ritner Boarding House, is a historic home located at Chambersburg in Franklin County, Pennsylvania. It is a two-story, three-bay wide, hewn-log building covered in clapboard. Abolitionist John Brown (1800–1859) stayed here from June until mid-October 1859, while receiving supplies and recruits for his raid on Harpers Ferry. Following the raid, four of Brown's followers returned to the house to be concealed.^[2] It is operated by the Franklin County Historical Society - Kittochtinny, as a historic house museum.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. It is included in the Chambersburg Historic District.^[1]
