The Perry Mill is a historic mill building at 337 Thames Street in Newport, Rhode Island. It is a large three-story stone structure on the Newport waterfront. It was built in 1835 by master stone mason Alexander MacGregor (who also oversaw the construction of Fort Adams in Newport) as part of an initiative to boost the city's flagging economy. Of the four mills built in the 1830s only this one and the Newport Steam Factory survive. This building was originally four stories when built. The building now houses shops and restaurants.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.
