Dilworth House is a historic home located at Port Penn, New Castle County, Delaware. The earliest section of the house dates to the late-17th century. It was built in two sections; the west section being the oldest. It consists of two separate, 2+12-story brick sections, each three bays wide. The house features diapered brickwork. A frame rear wing was added in the second half of the 19th century. The Dilworth House is a rare surviving specimen of an early Delaware yeoman's house.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[1]
