The Fremont Meeting House (also known as Poplin Meeting House) is a historic meeting house at 464 Main Street (New Hampshire Route 107) in Fremont, New Hampshire. It is a large wooden clapboarded structure, measuring 46'6" by 36'8", which was built in 1800, when Fremont was called Poplin. It has retained its twin porches for accessing the upper gallery, a feature that is not found in most surviving meeting houses. Its interior still has some of the original box pews, and the gallery choir space has some rare period music supports. The property also includes a 19th-century hearse house.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.[1]
