Buntingford Almshouses is a grade II* listed building on the High street of the Hertfordshire town of Buntingford. The building was erected in 1684 by the mathematician and astronomer Bishop Seth Ward[1] who was born in the town. The architect was probably the celebrated scientist and architect, Robert Hooke.[2]

The building, located next to St Peter's church, is built of brick around three sides of a courtyard. The heritage listing describes the building as "A classical almshouses of 1684 of outstanding interest."[1]

Having previously been used as the town hospital, the building is now run by a charity to provide accommodation for elderly people in the town.[3]
