J. H. Wilkerson & Son Brickworks is a historic abandoned brickworks and national historic district located at Milford, Kent County, Delaware. The district includes three contributing buildings and one contributing site at the brickworks that operated from 1912 to 1957. Some of the sheds, machinery, kiln, and other structures which housed the machinery remain standing, others have deteriorated or collapsed. Still standing are the storage shed, the shed over the brick-making machine, and one of the drying sheds. All of the machinery is in place as are other pieces of equipment used in the brick-making process. The walls of the kiln remain standing, just as they would have been left after the fired bricks are removed.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
