The Pettengill–Morron House, or Morron House, is a house located in the American city of Peoria, Illinois.

When Pettengill arrived in Peoria there were 150 people, 30 log cabins and three frame houses.The original house on the site, an 1862 construction, was destroyed by fire in 1865. The current building was constructed in 1868 in the Second Empire style, and a colonial revival porch and porte-cochere were added in 1900. Its original address was 464 Moss Avenue before Peoria's address renumbering in the 1950s.
