The Father William Duncan House, also known as the Father Duncan Cottage and now hosting the Duncan Cottage Museum, is a historic house located at 501 Tait Street in Metlakatla, Alaska. The single-story wood-frame structure was built in 1891 by the Tsimshian followers of the Anglican missionary William Duncan. It was one of the first structures built in Metlakatla after Duncan led a small number of followers there from the like-named village in British Columbia. The front facade is faced in shiplap siding, with four evenly spaced pilasters. There is decorative woodwork in the shallow-pitch gable end. Duncan was an influential leader of the community until his death in 1918.
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
