Washington Mills-Mayodan Plant, also known as Mayo Mills, Washington Group-Mayodan Plant, and Tultex Corp.-Mayodan Plant, is a historic textile mill and national historic district located at Mayodan, Rockingham County, North Carolina. It encompasses four contributing buildings and two contributing structures in the town of Mayodan. The main spinning mill was built in 1895, and is a three-story, rectangular brick structure with a low-pitched gable roof. The mill was expanded several times between 1897 and 1954. It features a four-story, one bay, tower with an open belfry at the top. Also on the property are the contributing knitting mill (1911), transformer house (c. 1900), railroad underpass, railroad spur, and frame wood shed. The mill closed in 1999.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.
