Staats House, Historic colonial house in South Bound Brook, US.

Staats House is a c. 1740 farmhouse at 17 Von Steuben Lane in South Bound Brook, built for Hendrick Staats on land from his father Peter Staats of Brooklyn. The two-story timber-frame house in American colonial style passed to John Staats in 1769 and to his son Abraham in 1770, and is also called the Abraham Staats House.

Staats House was built around 1740 on farmland granted by Peter Staats of Brooklyn to his son Hendrick, and passed to Abraham Staats in 1770. In 1779 it served as headquarters for General Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben during the second Middlebrook encampment. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 4, 2002.

The house is named after Abraham Staats, who received the property from his father John in November 1770; the earlier owner was Hendrick Staats, granted the farm by his father Peter in 1740. After Abraham and his wife died, the property was divided among their son Issac and his five sisters.

The house stands at 17 Von Steuben Lane in South Bound Brook, Somerset County. It is a private residence, so visitors view the exterior and the surrounding grounds rather than the interior. The site lies near the Raritan River and the Middlebrook encampment area.

On May 2, 1779, four battalions under General William Smallwood staged a formal review at the house to honor the French minister Conrad Alexandre Gérard de Rayneval and the Spanish diplomat Juan de Miralles. About sixty generals and colonels then dined with von Steuben in a large tent pitched beside the building, where Gérard told Washington that Comte d'Estaing's fleet would join the war.
