Fishburn Park Keeper's Cottage is a historic building located in Roanoke, Virginia, United States. It was constructed in stages beginning in c. 1820, making it possibly the oldest building still standing in Roanoke City. It is also a rare example of combined hewn-log and timber-frame construction in Southwest Virginia. The building was privately owned for approximately a century before coming under city ownership, and for much of the 20th century was used as a park caretaker's cottage by two generations of the same family. After sitting unoccupied for several decades, the house and a portion of the surrounding parkland were involved in controversial attempts by the city to sell them to private owners. The cottage was listed to the National Register of Historic Places in 2026, and as of that year was in the process of restoration into a coffee shop.
