Hanworth, Heritage mansion in East Brisbane, Australia.

Hanworth is a substantial single-storeyed brick residence at 109 Lytton Road, East Brisbane, near Norman Creek. It was designed by architect James Cowlishaw and built in 1864–65 for Lieutenant George Poynter Heath, Portmaster of Queensland. The house originally stood on just over 7 acres with frontage to the main road to Lytton and views of the Humbug Reach of the Brisbane River.

Hanworth was built in 1864–65 for Lieutenant George Poynter Heath, Portmaster of Queensland and later Chairman of the Marine Board, on land he bought in July 1863 for £241/8/-. It was designed by James Cowlishaw, Brisbane's first successful architect in private practice. The Heath family lived there for nearly 25 years, and in 1886 their daughter Cecelia Georgina's wedding reception drew the Governor and Premier Samuel Griffith.

The house takes its name from Hanworth in Norfolk, the birthplace of Portmaster George Poynter Heath, who had it built in 1864–65. In 1886 the Heaths held a reception here for their daughter Cecelia Georgina's marriage, attended by Governor and Lady Musgrave, Premier Samuel Griffith and Treasurer James Dickson. Later known as Hanworth Home for the Aged and The Hospice, it was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 December 1997.

Hanworth stands at 109 Lytton Road, East Brisbane, near Norman Creek. The house passed through several uses after the Heath family: leased to bank manager Alexander Henry Hudson from about 1891, offered as the subdivided Hanworth Estate in 1912, and titled to Mary Marguerite Wienholt in July 1913, when its grounds had shrunk to just over 3 roods. It is a private property, so view it from the street.

The house was named after Hanworth in Norfolk, England, the birthplace of Portmaster George Poynter Heath in 1830. His name also survives in nearby Heath Street and Heath Park in East Brisbane.
