Bancroft Memorial Library is a historic library at 50 Hopedale Street in Hopedale, Massachusetts.

The library was donated to the town in 1898 by Joseph Bubier Bancroft, in memory of his wife Sylvia. Bancroft was an executive with the Draper Company, the Town's principal industry.[2] The building was designed by Boston architect C. Howard Walker of the firm Walker & Kimball. It is constructed of Milford granite, and was modeled after Merton College Chapel at Oxford.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.[3]
