Kragsyde is the name of a mansion built at on Smith's Point at Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA, United States, in 1883 and demolished in 1929. It is also the name of an exact replica built in 1982 on Swan's Island, off the coast of Maine near Bar Harbor. It was commissioned by Bostonian George Nixon Black, Jr. to the famous architectural firm of Peabody & Stearns .

Kragsyde is generally regarded as the perfect example of "Shingle Style," a subtype of American Queen Anne architecture.
