Gloucester House is a former royal residence in the seaside resort of Weymouth on the south coast of England. It was the summer residence of Prince William Henry Duke of Gloucester and Edinburgh (1743–1805), fourth son of Frederick, Prince of Wales, and brother of King George III. During his recovery from porphyria in 1789, George III spent some time convalescing there.

Having been a hotel for most of the 20th century, it is now a private residence, having been renamed Gloucester Lodge after conversion into flats. The lower ground floor contains a pub and restaurant known as the Cork and Bottle.

Gloucester House is also a school in North London.
