The District No. 9 Schoolhouse is a historic school building at 358 Hoyt Road in Gilford, New Hampshire. It is a 1-1/2 story wood frame structure, whose main block measures 24 feet (7.3 m) in length and 22 feet (6.7 m) in width. It has a shed-roof projection at one end which houses the main entrance and a vestibule area (dated to the 1830s), and a second shed-roof addition behind that, dating to the early 20th century. The interior space was historically divided into a classroom space and a wood storage area, later converted into a kitchen. The property includes a c. 1824 outhouse. The building was used as a school until 1935; it is now a private summer residence.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.
