The S. Julius Lichtenstein House is a historic place in Corpus Christi, Nueces County. It was built in 1905 for merchant Julius Lichtenstein and his wife, Carrie Weil. Julius Lichtenstein, born in Indianola in 1871, moved to Corpus Christi in 1874. His father established a dry goods store, which became M. Lichtenstein & Sons.

The Lichtensteins moved to a larger house in 1913, but owned this property until 1926. In 1929, the house was moved nine blocks north to its current location. The S. Julius Lichtenstein House was designated a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark in 1976. It represents a distinctive housing style from the early 1900s in Corpus Christi.
