The Walpole Academy is a historic former school building on Main Street in Walpole, New Hampshire. It is now owned by the Walpole Historical Society and operated as a local history museum. The wood frame building was built in 1831, and is a fine rural example of a 19th-century Greek Revival academy building. The building has a classic Greek temple appearance, with Doric columns supporting an entablature and a triangular pediment with a fanlight detail. The building is topped by an octagonal, arcaded cupola. The academy building was used as a private school until 1853, when the town acquired for use as its high school. It was purchased from the town by the historical society in 1950.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
