The Gloucester Net and Twine Company is a historic factory at Maplewood Avenue, southeast of the junction of Maplewood Avenue and Grove Street in Gloucester, Massachusetts. It was the factory of one of Gloucester's most importing fishing-related manufacturing businesses, founded in 1884. The complex was built c. 1899. The main factory building is a utilitarian wood frame structure three stories high, six window bays wide and fourteen long. Its long facade, along Maplewood Avenue, is centered on a four story tower, to the right of which is a single story brick power supply building with Italianate detailing.

The complex was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1996.
