Rockwood Chocolate Factory Historic District is a historic industrial complex and national historic district in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, New York City. The complex consists of 16 contributing buildings built between 1891 and 1928 and owned by Rockwood & Company until it went out of business in 1957. The largest and oldest building (Building 1 and 2) dates to 1891 and is located at the corner of Washington and Park avenues. It is a five-story, Romanesque Revival style building.[2] Much of the complex has been converted to loft apartments.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1] It has been incorporated into the Wallabout Industrial Historic District.[3]
