Rye House in Hoddesdon, Hertfordshire is a former fortified manor house, located in what is now the Lee Valley Regional Park. The 15th-century gatehouse is the surviving part of the structure and is a Grade I listed building. The site is a scheduled monument.

The house gave its name to the Rye House Plot of 1683, an alleged plan to assassinate Charles II of England and his brother James.
