The U.S. Marine Hospital, also known as the U.S. Seamen's Hospital, was one of the earliest remaining buildings in Lahaina, Hawaii. It is listed as a contributing property to the Lahaina Historic District.
The building was constructed in the 1830s as a secret hideaway for King of Hawaii Kamehameha III, and then used as a U.S. Marine Hospital during 1844–1862. Afterwards, it was used by the Anglican Church as a school, and later as a clergy house. It was purchased in 1909 by the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Estate and used as a residence. However, the building deteriorated and was a pile of rubble by 1980. It was restored in 1982 by the Lahaina Restoration Foundation. The building was again destroyed in the 2023 Hawaii wildfires, with only the stone exterior walls remaining.
