The Natchaug Forest Lumber Shed is a historic utility building in Natchaug State Forest in Eastford, Connecticut. It is located at the southern end of the maintenance yard on the east side of Kingsbury Road in the heart of the forest. It is a vernacular post-and-beam structure with vertical board siding. Its north-facing front has five equipment bays with double-leaf wooden doors. It is the only surviving structure, of a large number built, in the forest by crews of the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.
