Orchard House Yard was an English shipbuilding yard located at Leamouth, on the River Lea at Bow Creek and also known as Orchard Yard and Hercules Wharf. Forming part of the Orchard House estate, over time a number of shipbuilders occupied the site:

The only known surviving vessel built at the yard is SS Robin, a 300-ton steam-powered coaster which is part of the National Historic Fleet and the last of her type still in existence. She was built at Orchard House Yard in 1890 by Mackenzie and is currently located a short distance away in the Royal Victoria Dock.[2][3]
