The Bailey House Museum, also known as Old Bailey House, is a museum of Hawaiian history located in Wailuku, Hawaii, on the island of Maui, owned and operated by the Maui Historical Society.The house is situated at the mouth of the Iao Valley within the former royal compound of Kahekili II, last ruling chief of Maui.

Built in 1833 and being one of the first western-style houses in Wailuku, the "Old Bailey House" is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.Originally intended as a mission for adults and children, in 1837 the mission was transformed into the Wailuku Female Seminary, a boarding school that not only taught its students Christianity and academic pursuits, such as the three Rs, but also domestic skills such as sewing and housekeeping.

First managed by Theodosia and Rev. Jonathan Smith Green, Edward and Caroline Bailey assumed responsibility in 1844 shortly after arriving in Hawaii.
