The Rockingham, or Waterloo, Kiln in Swinton, South Yorkshire, England, is a pottery kiln dating from 1815. It formed part of the production centre for the Rockingham Pottery which, in the early 19th century, produced highly-decorative Rococco porcelain. The pottery failed in the mid-19th century, and the kiln is one of the few remaining elements of the Rockingham Works. It is a Grade II* listed building and forms part of the Rockingham Scheduled monument.
