The David Frost House is an historic house at 26 Gray Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It is a  2 1⁄2-story wood-frame house, five bays wide, with twin interior chimneys and a typical Federal period center-hall plan. It was built in 1815, and was originally located on Massachusetts Avenue, then a relatively rural area. It was relocated to its present site in 1889, when Massachusetts Avenue became a desirable location to build larger, more fashionable houses, after the arrival of public transit.[2]

The house was built in 1815 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
