Medfield State Hospital is a historic mental hospital at 45 Hospital Road in Medfield, Massachusetts.

The hospital was built in 1892. At its height it included 58 buildings, on a property of some 900 acres, and a capacity of 2200 patients. It raised its own livestock and produce, and generated its own heat, light and power. Added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994, the property was closed in April 2003 and was shuttered, and has recently been reopened legally to the public and is open every day from 6am to 6pm. It has been used as a filming location for major motion pictures such as Shutter Island and The Box.
