Red House Museum is a historic house and museum in Gomersal, West Yorkshire, England.

Red House was built by William Taylor in 1660, and the Taylor family owned it until 1920. The house had a number of famous visitors. One was Charlotte Brontė, who had been a pupil at Roe Head with Mary Taylor, the daughter of Joshua Taylor, a banker and wool merchant. Charlotte Brontė immortalised the family and the house in her novel Shirley.
