Huffman Distillery and Chopping Mill is a historic complex of buildings in Somerset Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania. Contributing buildings include a c. 1810 ​2 ¹⁄₂-story four-bay brick main house; a c. 1815 timber-frame bank barn; a c.1790 stone-and-log distillery, and a c. 1805 timber-frame chopping mill. The mill was horse powered, and was used to chop grain for the distilling process. These buildings are a rare surviving example of an important industry in the Somerset Township area, and the very small-scale industrial/commercial enterprises of the late 18th/early 19th centuries. The area had a high concentration of distillers, and they were greatly affected by the whiskey excise tax and the Whiskey Rebellion.

Huffman Distillery and Chopping Millis designated as a historic residential landmark/farmstead by the Washington County History & Landmarks Foundation, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
