The South Lancaster Engine House is a historic fire station at 283 S. Main Street in South Lancaster, Massachusetts. The Victorian wood frame building was built in 1888, and is one of the oldest fire stations in the area still in active service. It is two stories in height, with two equipment bays with overhead doors (replacements for original swinging doors), and two horse stalls. Its exterior is finished primarily in clapboards, with decorative wooden shingles on the flared edge between the first and second floors.[2][3]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1]
