Spot Pond Archeological District is a historic archaeological site in Stoneham, Massachusetts. It is located in the Virginia Woods section of the Middlesex Fells Reservation, a state park. The district encompasses sites principally on Spot Pond Brook that were early colonial mill sites. One of the park's trails and a park pamphlet provide a self-guided tour joining the major sites of mill works that were constructed in the 18th century.
The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
