Sally Ann Furnace Complex is a historic iron furnace complex site located at Rockland Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. It includes the remains of furnace, barns, stable, storage sheds, grist mill, and bake ovens. The furnace was built in 1791 along Sacony Creek and once stood 32 feet high. Adjacent to the mill is a 1 1/2-story stone dwelling built in 1798. In 1814, a 2 1/2-story rectangular, stuccoed stone mansion house was added. It is five bays by two bays, and has a gable roof with dormers. Also on the property is a 1 1/2-story, stone company store and storekeeper's residence, and 2 1/2-story stuccoed stone granary.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
