The Amos Chase House and Mill are a historic property on New Hampshire Route 114, just south of the Piscataquog River in Weare, New Hampshire. The house is a 2-1/2 Greek Revival two-family house built c. 1836. It has two similar five-bay facades (southeast and northeast) with central entries framed by pilasters and topped by architraves. The adjacent mill building is also a wood-frame structure, built c. 1849. Both buildings have seen only modest and superficial alteration since their construction. The mill is the only surviving 19th-century mill building in Weare, out of a cottage industry that once saw a dozen or more such buildings. This mill was the only one in the town to survive the New England Hurricane of 1938, although its waterwheel was washed away. The mill race providing water to the mill from the Piscataquog is still visible on the property, as is a dam built by Chase. Chase was a tool manufacturer; his son later used the mill in the manufacture of baskets.

The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
