Tunker House, also known as the Yount-Zigler House, is a historic home located in Broadway, Rockingham County, Virginia. The house consists of a two-story, three-bay, brick main block, with a brick and frame rear ell. The brick portion of the rear ell is the oldest section and dates to about 1798. It was later raised to a full two stories in the 1830s. The main block was added between 1802 and 1806.

From the early-19th century until 1830 the house was used for worship services by the Pre-split U.S. Schwarzenau Brethren community now represented by German Baptists, Old Brethren, (or Tunker, now Dunkard Brethren). It was the home of impactful Brethren elder and author, Peter Nead (1796-1877). He lived here from the time he married Elizabeth, daughter of the builder Benjamin Yount, in 1825, until 1839.^[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.^[1]
