The Nelson Wheeler Whipple House is an adobe house in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States built in 1854. Whipple was born in Sanford, New York in 1818, converting to Mormonism in 1844 and moving to Nauvoo, Illinois. After fleeing Nauvoo in 1846, Whipple lived in Garden Grove, Iowa until 1850, when he and his family moved to Salt Lake City. There he acquired two more wives and 17 children, providing wood shingles for the Mormon Tabernacle and keeping a diary that has become an important historical resource.

The Whipple House measures about 28 feet (8.5 m) by 35 feet (11 m) and two stories high, containing twelve rooms. The adobe is covered by stucco, with a Federal-style entrance and a gabled roof. It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 26, 1979.
