Roaring Brook I Site and Roaring Brook II Site are two Middle to Late Woodland Period archeological sites in East Haddam, Connecticut, that were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.

The Roaring Brook cultural phase, associated with multiple sites in the vicinity, is dated to 2000–1250 BP (AD 1–750).{{cite web |url=http://archnet.asu.edu/archives/regions/northeast/culthist/cttime.htm |title=Chronology of the Prehistoric Periods of Southern New England |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130105153147/http://archnet.asu.edu/archives/regions/northeast/culthist/cttime.htm |archivedate=2013-01-05 }}
