The Queensbury Mill is a historic mill building at 1 Market Street in Somersworth, New Hampshire. It is a four story wood frame structure, 171 feet (52 m) in length. The mill was built in 1884 and enlarged in 1892, and was owned by a consortium of local business leaders. It was built during a period of labor unrest in the major shoe-producing centers of Massachusetts, and was built to attract elements of that industry to the city. It was operated as a shoe factory until 1984.[2]

The mill was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.[1]
