The John Knap House, also known as Samuel Knap House, is a historic house at 984 Stillwater Road in Stamford, Connecticut. The house is a 2+12-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a large central chimney. It was built c. 1705 by a Capt. John Knap and was owned by his son, Lt. John Knap. The house was bought from the Lt. John Knap's estate by his son Samuel Knap in 1765.[2] It is believed to be the second oldest house in Stamford.[2]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
