The Grafton Inn is a historic inn at 25 Grafton Common in Grafton, Massachusetts. The three-story wood-and-brick building was built in 1805 by Samuel Wood, with a design influenced by the work of Charles Bulfinch. The building was significantly enlarged c. 1865–75, doubling its size and adding the Italianate front porch. It is a wood-frame structure, with brick ends, a hip roof, and cupola-like belvedere.[2]

The inn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980,[1] and was included in the Grafton Common Historic District in 1988.[2] It is still in operation as a restaurant, bar, and seven-room inn.
