The Shaw Mansion (also known as the Shaw-Perkins Mansion and as the Shaw Mansion Museum) is a historic mansion and historic house museum at 11 Blinman Street in New London, Connecticut. It is a large three story granite structure, whose main block is six bays wide, with a single-story porch extending across its width. A three-story granite wing extends the main block to the right at a recess. In addition to being a well-preserved example of a wealthy merchant's home, it is historically significant as the location of the state's naval offices during the American Revolutionary War.[2]

Built in 1756, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970. The headquarters and museum of the New London Historical Society has been located in the Shaw Mansion since 1907.[3]
