The Treasurer's House in the historic City of York in Northern England, is owned by the National Trust, who also maintain its garden. It is located in Minster Yard to the north of the world famous York Minster.

The first Treasurer for York Minster was appointed in 1091 when the office was established by Archbishop of York but all that remains of his original house is an external wall which forms part of Grays Court and sections of 12th-century masonry in the present Treasurer's House for which it is uncertain whether they are in-situ or have been reused. As the controller of the finances of the Minster the Treasurer need a grand residence to be able to entertain important guests.

The residence served in this capacity until 1547, when the Reformation of the English Church ended the job of Treasurer. The last Treasurer surrendered the house to the crown on 26 May and it was granted to Protector Somerset by whom it was sold to Archbishop Robert Holgate. Thomas Young, Archbishop between 1561 and 1568, and his descendants are responsible for the structure of house as it is today. In the early 17th century the Young family added the symmetrical front and almost entirely rebuilt the house. In 1617, the Treasurer's House hosted King James I. The house subsequently passed through a number of private owners.

The house was restored to its present state by a wealthy local industrialist, Frank Green, who between 1897 and 1898 bought each part of the house. He appointed Temple Moore to restore the house and remove numerous earlier additions. This work was mostly completed by 1900 before Prince Albert Edward, Princess Alexandra of Denmark and Princess Victoria visited in June the same year. When Frank Green retired and moved away from York in 1930 the house and its contents were given to the National Trust.

The house was built directly over one of the main Roman roads leading out of Roman York to the North.
