The Giffin House is a historic house on New Hampshire Route 10 in Goshen, New Hampshire. Built in 1835, it served as a schoolhouse until 1957, and is one of three surviving 19th century schoolhouses in Goshen. It is also part of a cluster of plank-frame houses built in the community.

This building was built as the Mill Village District Schoolhouse in 1835, a role it played until 1957, after which it was converted to residential use. The plank-frame construction method is found in a cluster of houses in Goshen that is believed to be unique in the state for its concentration.
