The Cooper Site is an archaeological site in Lyme, Connecticut. On a terrace of the Connecticut River near Hamburg Cove, the site has yielded evidence of Middle to Late Woodland occupation. The Late Woodland component includes evidence interpreted as the site of a wigwam, with a large number of stone chips consistent with the development of stone tools at the site. The Middle Woodland component is interpreted as a series of small camps whose occupation was relatively brief.
The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
