The Napoleon LaRochelle Two-Family House is a historic house at 30 Pine Street in Southbridge, Massachusetts. An excellent example of a vernacular Victorian duplex, it was probably built around 1890 for Napoleon LaRochelle, a polisher for the American Optical Company. He owned this and another house next door which was built in the same style. Its plan is a typical front-gable side entry layout, this time with a central cross gable. It has some bargeboard decoration on the front gable, and its front porch features a basket-weave railing.

It was built in 1890 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
