Readbourne is a historic home located at Centreville, Queen Anne's County, Maryland, United States. It is a five-part Georgian brick house: the center block was built in the early 1730s; the south wing in 1791; and the north wing in 1948. The central part of the house is the most significant, being a "T"-shaped, two-story brick building with a hip roof, measuring 60 feet (18 m) by 23 feet 6 inches (7.16 m). All of the brick walls are laid in Flemish bond.[2]

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