Westbourne Mansion, also known formerly as Field House, is a historic, conserved mansion located at 25 Gilstead Road in Novena, Singapore. Built in 1927, it was originally the residence of physician and civic figure Dr. Yin Suat Chuan. The mansion was the family home of his son, Leslie Charteris, the author known for creating "The Saint". The building has a history of adaptive reuse. During World War II, it was reportedly occupied by the German Kriegsmarine. From 1957 to 2003, it served as the headquarters for the Spastic Children's Association of Singapore (now Cerebral Palsy Alliance Singapore) under the name Field House. The building is currently a state property managed by the Singapore Land Authority.
