Pottstown Roller Mill is a historic roller mill located on the Schuylkill River at Pottstown, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The original mill building was built in 1727. It was constructed of fieldstone, two-stories tall, and three bays wide and two bays deep. The building was altered in 1849. In 1856, two brick stories were added to the original fieldstone mill. A five bay, brick addition was subsequently added and doubled the size of the 1856 mill. The property includes the contributing dam and mill race.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
