The McNeely–Strachan House, also known as Salisbury Academy, is a historic home located at Salisbury, Rowan County, North Carolina. It was built about 1820, as a two-story, frame dwelling. It was remodeled in the 1850s to add its distinctive two-tier flat roofed front porch. The porch features a five bay ornamental cast iron arcade in a grapevine pattern. The roof was modified to the hipped roof form and exterior chimneys rebuilt in 1911. The interior has Federal, Greek Revival, and Late Victorian-style design elements. The building housed the Salisbury Academy girls' school from about 1820 to 1825.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972. It is located in the Salisbury Historic District.
