The Rinckel Mansion, at 102 N. Curry St. in Carson City, Nevada, is a historic house built in 1875. It was home of Mathias Rinckel, a merchant in Carson City. It was designed and built by Ecole de Beaux Arts-trained architect Charles H. Jones.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.[1] It was deemed significant for its association with Rinckel and "because it is one of the finest and best-preserved examples of French Victorian architecture remaining in the American West."[2] The building has been owned by the Nevada Press Foundation since 2000 and houses the offices of the Nevada Press Association.
