Cataract Engine Company No. 3 is a historic building at 116 Rock Street in Fall River, Massachusetts. It also served as the meeting hall of the Richard Borden GAR Post No. 46 of the Grand Army of the Republic.[https://www.loc.gov/rr/main/gar/appendix/mass1.html Library of Congress list of GAR posts in Massachusetts] It is now occupied by a tobacco shop.

The building is a two-story wood-frame structure, three bays wide, with a front-facing gable roof. A single-story porch spans the front, and plain pilasters grace the building corners. It was built in 1843 as the city's third fire station. It is the city's only surviving frame fire station, and one of its only surviving non-residential Greek Revival structures.{{cite web|url=https://mhc-macris.net/details?mhcid=flr.1522|title=MACRIS inventory record for Cataract Engine Company No. 3|publisher=Commonwealth of Massachusetts|access-date=2015-05-30}}
