James Dunklin House, also known as the Williams-Watts-Todd-Dunklin House, is a historic home located at Laurens, Laurens County, South Carolina. It was built about 1812, and is a two-story, five bay, upcountry farmhouse, or I-house. It features informally spaced columns and two pipe-stem chimneys. An 1845 wing was removed in 1950 and converted into a six-room apartment building located behind the main house. At this time a first-floor sun porch was added to the rear of the house. Also on the property are outbuildings including a renovated slave cabin, a garage apartment, and a reconstruction of a kitchen at Colonial Williamsburg.[2][3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1] It is located in the Laurens Historic District.
