The Reverend Jesse R. Zeigler Residence is a Frank Lloyd Wright house in Frankfort, Kentucky.

The Zeigler house is the only Frank Lloyd Wright structure built in Kentucky during the lifetime of the famous architect. The design came from a chance meeting between Zeiger and Wright while both were traveling to Europe in the early 1900s. They struck up a conversation and the commission of this structure was the result.[2] The structure is a typical example of Wright's "prairie house".[3]

The structure was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1]
