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.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[1]
