Mason House, also known as the Hinman-Mason House, is an historic dwelling located at Guilford in Accomack County, Virginia. Trees were cut for its construction in the winter of 1729/30 and construction likely started soon thereafter.

The house is an early example of one laid out with a center passage.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
