The Jehu Reed House was a historic home located in Little Heaven, Kent County, Delaware. It was built in 1771 and expanded and remodeled in 1868. It was a three-story, five-bay, brick dwelling, with a lower, three-bay rear wing containing the kitchen and servants' quarters. The main section had a hipped roof and a Victorian porch with decorative ironwork.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1]

After decades of neglect, including partial collapse of the front facade, the house was demolished on July 16, 2017.[2]
