Gore Place is a historic country house, now a museum, located in Waltham, Massachusetts. It is owned and operated by the nonprofit Gore Place Society. The 45-acre (180,000 m2) estate is open to the public daily without charge; an admission fee is charged for house tours. A number of special events are held throughout the year including an annual sheepshearing festival and a summer concert series.

The mansion was built in 1806 as a summer home for Massachusetts lawyer and politician Christopher Gore.
