The Woodbury Mill is a historic mill building at 1 Dover Street in Dover, New Hampshire. This five-story utilitarian brick mill building was built in 1885 by the Dover Improvement Association as a factory space for small footwear manufacturers to operate in. The Woodbury Brothers were one of its first tenants, occupying about half the space in the 250 feet (76 m) long building. They would operate on the premises, employing as many as 250 workers, until 1894. The building continued to be used for shoe-related manufacturing, under a variety of owners and occupants, until 1979.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2013.[1]
