Romer-Van Tassel House is a historic home located at 2121 Saw Mill River Road in Elmsford, Town of Greenburgh, Westchester County, New York. It was built in 1793 on the site of the Romer family^[2]^[3] house associated with the September 23, 1780, capture of John André.

The house is a 1+1⁄2-story, rectangular stone dwelling, topped by a gable roof. The coursed stone foundation may be the remains of an earlier dwelling and date to about 1684.^[4] The house was renovated in the 1920s and the 1+1⁄2-story wood-frame kitchen wing dates to that time. The house served as the first Greenburgh town hall from 1793 into the early 19th century.^[5]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.^[1]
