Cherry Hill is a historic house located on South Pearl Street in Albany, New York, United States. It is a timber frame structure dating to the late 18th century. It was built by Colonel Philip Kiliaen van Rensselaer for his bride Maria Sanders, granddaugh

During the early 19th century, it was the home of Solomon van Rensselaer, who served in Congress and several local governmental positions. Van Rensselaer's descendants lived there for nearly two centuries, preserving intact not only the original interior finishes but also its furniture, portraits, kitchenware and family documents. Since their tenure, it has been operated as a historic house museum by the Historic Cherry Hill Association.
