The Upton Sinclair House located at 464 N. Myrtle Avenue, Monrovia, California, was the home of American novelist Upton Sinclair between 1942 and 1966. It is a 1923 Spanish Colonial Revival style building in a district of similar houses, located in the suburban Los Angeles community of Monrovia, in the San Gabriel Valley. Most of his later works were written while he lived here. He had converted the rear garage into his study[2].

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places and, further, declared a National Historic Landmark in 1971.[3][2]

The house was designed by California architect Frederick H. Wallis and is privately owned.[2]
