The Friends Meeting House and Cemetery is a historic Quaker meeting house and cemetery at 234 W. Main Road in Little Compton, Rhode Island. The meeting house is a two-story wood frame structure, built in 1815 by Quakers on the site of (and in the style of) their first meeting house to be built in the Little Compton area in 1700. It was used by Quakers until 1903, and was maintained by members of the Apponegansett Meeting House in Dartmouth, Massachusetts until 1946, when it was donated to the Little Compton Historical Society. It was the Society's first acquisition, and was subjected to a careful restoration in the 1960s.[2]

The meeting house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]
