Rumford Mill is a pulp mill and paper mill located in the United States town of Rumford, Maine. Part of Catalyst Paper, the mill has two kraft pulp lines and three paper machines. The mill produces 460,000 tonnes of kraft pulp and 565,000 tonnes of paper annually. The mill has 800 employees as of 2015.^[1]

The mill was established in 1901 by Hugh J. Chisholm. He had established the Portland and Rumford Falls Railway, which was completed in 1892 and aimed at exploiting the falls to manufacture paper.^[2] The Oxford Paper Company grew out of this mill and remained owned by the Chisholm family until 1967. Rumford among other items was the sole manufacturer of US Post Office postcards, as well as the country's largest bookpaper manufacturer. Ownership passed to Ethyl Corporation in 1967, Boise Cascade Paper Company in 1976, Mead Corporation in 1996, Cerebus Capital Management in 2005 and Catalyst Paper in 2015.^[3]
