The East Blackstone Friends Meetinghouse (also known as "Mendon Lower Meeting" or "Smithfield Monthly Meeting") is an historic Quaker meetinghouse on 197 Elm Street in Blackstone, Massachusetts. The small single-story wood frame structure was built in 1812 on land donated to the Quakers by Samuel Smith, a local landowner. The building was used regularly throughout the 19th century for meetings, and sporadically since then.[2]

The meeting house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.[1]
