Rachel Carson Homestead is a National Register of Historic Places building in Springdale, Pennsylvania, 18 miles northeast of Pittsburgh along the Allegheny River.

It is a five-room farmhouse which was the birthplace and childhood home of Rachel Carson, whose 1962 book Silent Spring launched the modern environmentalism movement. The homestead is managed by the Rachel Carson Homestead Association, a nonprofit organization established in 1975.
