Ortega Adobe is a historic adobe house built in 1857 and located on Main Street on the west side of Ventura, California, not far from the mouth of the Ventura River. It was designated in 1974 as the City of Ventura's Historic Landmark No. 2. It is owned by the City and operated as a self-guided historical site.

Ortega Adobe is the City's "only remaining example of a 'middle class' home of the late 1800s."^[1] At one time, much of Ventura's Main Street was lined with adobe homes. The Ortega Adobe is the only one to survive.^[2]
