The Roswell Butler Hard House is a house located at 815 W. First St. in Antioch, California. Roswell Butler Hard, a prominent early resident of Antioch, built the house in 1869. Hard was the first chairman of the Antioch town council, which originally met in his house; he also served as county sheriff and supervisor. The two-story Italianate house was built entirely from brick made in the city. It was split into smaller housing units after Hart's death; in 1979, the city of Antioch took ownership of the building, and it has fallen into disuse since.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on September 30, 1993.
