Hockessin Friends Meetinghouse is a historic Quaker meeting house and national historic district located at 1501 Old Wilmington Road in Hockessin, New Castle County, Delaware. The district encompasses three contributing buildings and one contributing site. The meeting house was built in 1738. In 1973 it was a one-story white plastered stone building with a gable roof.
