"A House with No Curtains" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music singer Alan Jackson. It was released in January 1998 the sixth single from his album Everything I Love. The song had previously been the B-side to the album's fourth single "There Goes". Jackson wrote the song with Jim McBride.

The song is about a couple that stays together even though they are not happy. They still pretend that they are doing fine together for others to see, but everyone knows that it isn't working out between them.

Stephen Thomas Erlewine, in his review of the album, called the song "a classic honky tonk ballad[…]worthy of early George Jones". An uncredited review from Billboard called the song "a gem of a country-gothic composition."

"A House with No Curtains" spent fifteen weeks on the Hot Country Songs chart and peaked at number 18.
