The Dwight Manufacturing Company Housing District is a residential historic district in Chicopee, Massachusetts. Roughly bounded by Front, Depot, Dwight, Exchange, and Chestnut Streets, it encompasses a variety of housing built for mill workers at Chicopee's mills during the 19th century. One typical boarding house is the brick building a 2-6-10 Dwight Street, built c. 1832 for the Springfield Canal Company and sold to the Dwight Company in 1844.

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977.
