Preuit Oaks is a historic plantation house near Leighton in Colbert County, Alabama. The house was built in 1847 by Dr. John S. Napier, on land originally owned by his father-in-law.

The house has a center-hall plan with two rooms on either side. A one-story, shed-roofed addition projects from the rear of the house. In addition to the house, the complex also contains 14 buildings and structures constructed between 1850 and 1890, including an office, kitchen, cook's house, corn cribs, barn, gin house, tenant house, smokehouse, blacksmith shop, and the family cemetery. The house was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage in 1978 and the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. (en)
