The Newport Steam Factory is an historic building at 449 Thames Street in Newport, Rhode Island. It is a 3+1⁄2-story stone structure, 120 feet (37 m) by 48 feet (15 m). It was built in 1831 by a group of local businessmen in an effort to boost the local economy, which had suffered since the British occupation during the American Revolutionary War. The building was used as a cotton mill until 1857. In 1892 it was purchased by the Newport Illuminating Company.^[2] It is now part of the International Yacht Restoration School.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.^[1]
