The Bacon-Fraser House is a historic home in Hinesville, Georgia in Liberty County, Georgia, built in 1839. It is a two-story Plantation Plain style with weatherboard sides. The house is raised and rests on Savannah brick piers. Additions to the rear were made in 1923 and 1979.

During the American Civil War, General Sherman's army occupied the plantation in 1864 and burned some of the outbuildings.[3] The house is far back from Court Street but there is a historical marker near the street. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
