The Rockefeller Cottage is a house on Jekyll Island, Georgia. It is also called Indian Mound. The house was built by Gordon McKay in 1892. McKay died in 1903 and the house was bought by William Rockefeller in 1905, who used it as a winter home. It was evacuated in 1942. It remained in the family until 1947, when the Jekyll Island Authority bought the property. It was open as a museum from 1950 until 1968, when it was closed for badly needed repairs. It is now a public museum.

The house is next to the Jekyll Island Club. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
