Nichewaug Inn is a historic hotel in Petersham, Massachusetts.
There was an inn on the site as far back as 1850.
The current structure was built by James Brooks in 1899 after two earlier inns on the site were  destroyed by fire.
It was designed by Stone, Carpenter & Willson, who also designed the Petersham Memorial Library and Petersham Center School (1906).
The Inn's golf course is now North Common Meadow.
Cellist Helen Isabel Moorhouse wrote letters to her lover Alice E. Brown during her stay at the inn in the summer of 1915 and they are now part of the University of Michigan collection.

In 1952 it was purchased by the Sisters of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin who expanded it and used it as a parochial high school for two decades, Maria Assumpta Academy.

The inn has been mostly empty since the 1980s and has had several owners until being acquired by the town.
In 2018, the future of the property was the subject of public hearings.
In 2018 the town, which owns the building, was seeking proposals from interested buyers.
