The Bartlett Roundhouse is a historic railroad service facility in Bartlett, New Hampshire. Located just south of United States Route 302 and east of Pine Street, it consists of a multibay service building and the remains of a 56-foot (17 m) railroad turntable which provide access to the service bays. The facility was used by the Maine Central Railroad to house and maintain extra locomotives used to assist the passage of trains up Crawford Notch to the north, and was taken out of service after regular passenger service was ended on the line in 1958.[2]

The site was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015.[1]
