Portsmouth Friends Meetinghouse Parsonage and Cemetery is a historic Quaker building and cemetery at 11 Middle Rd. and 2232 E. Main Rd. in Portsmouth, Rhode Island.
Portsmouth is the second oldest colonial community in Rhode Island and was founded by exiled religious dissidents from Massachusetts in 1638. The Quaker community developed throughout the seventeenth century and this meetinghouse was built in 1699. It was added to the National Historic Register in 1973.
