Readbourne is a historic home on the Chester River 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]

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973. It was built by James Hollyday, a prominent politician for the Province of Maryland.[1] It was once owned by William Fahnestock Jr. of the New York banking family.
