Quaker Hill Historic District is a historic district in the town of Waterford, Connecticut that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.

The district is a very irregularly shaped district that generally runs along Old Norwich Road. It includes the center of the historic Quaker Hill neighborhood. It excludes non-historic properties, including entire streets, of modern-day Quaker Hill.

The district includes 109 elements, of which 92 are contributing buildings, over a 102 acres (41 ha) area. It also includes 16 non-contributing buildings and one non-contributing site. Properties included in the district are: numbers 3 and 5 on Caroline Court; 3 Northwood Road; 2, 11, and 17 on Quaker Hill Green (Old Colchester Road); 2 Richard's Grove Road; 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, and 15 Rosemary Lane; and 54 parcels on Old Norwich Road ranging from numbers 91 to 209.

The original Quaker Hill was a community of dispersed farmsteads. No colonial buildings survive in the district.

The collection of buildings is architecturally significant.

Contributing properties in the district include:

  • the Christopher Green House, a Georgian style house dating from 1794, is the only stone building in the district.
  • the Benjamin Green house is a Colonial style house.
  • the John Rogers House, perhaps from 1782
  • Quaker Hill Baptist Church
  • Red Lion Tavern
  • Alexander House
  • Glassbrenner House, c. 1900, a Queen Anne/Colonial Revival 188 Old Norwich Road
  • Quaker Hill School, a large brick building with two-story pilasters
