The Richard Sanger III House is a historic house in Sherborn, Massachusetts. It is a 2-1/2 story timber frame house, five bays wide, with a side gambrel roof and clapboard siding. The windows of the front facade are symmetrically placed, but the door is slightly off-center, flanked by sidelight windows and topped by a gabled pediment. The house was built c. 1734, with a rear leanto added around 1775. It is unusual in the town as an 18th-century gambrel-roofed house with leanto. Sanger was the son of a Boston merchant, and one of the few people on the town documented to own slaves.
