The Union Hotel is a historic hotel building at the corner of Main and Chapel Streets in Wakefield, New Hampshire. The 2-1/2 story wood frame building was built in 1855 by Robert Pike. It consists of a main block and several wings, which primarily housed hotel rooms. It is one of only three hotel buildings that were purpose-built after the arrival of the railroad in the area, at a time when the Union village in southern Wakefield was its northern terminus. The business continued in the hands of the Pike family into the 20th century, and then other owners until 1961.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1]
