The Dorrance Inn, also known as the Samuel Dorrance House, is a historic former inn at 748 Plainfield Pike in Sterling, Connecticut built about 1722. It is notable as a place that hosted officers of the French Army in 1781 and 1782, as it was along the march route taken by French commander Rochambeau's troops on their march to meet the Continental Army under General George Washington. Dorrance's Inn is one of a few places mentioned by name in multiple accounts written by French officers. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002 and is a contributing building in the Sterling Hill Historic District.

The former Dorrance Inn stands on the eastern edge of Sterling's main village, just east of the Congregational Church on the north side of Plainfield Pike (Connecticut Route 14A). The road is a historically major east-west route through the town. The house is a 2+1⁄2-story wood-frame structure, five bays wide, with a side-gable roof and a large central chimney. The oldest portion of the house was built around 1722, consisting of the eastern three bays. Greek Revival treatments were added to the front door and house corners in the 19th century.

The house was the home and inn of Samuel Dorrance at the time of the American Revolutionary War, and is one of the few places mentioned by name in multiple French accounts of the army's 1781 and 1782 marches across Connecticut. Dorrance played host to the Marquis de Chastellux among others, and Rochambeau dined here on the return march in 1782. George Washington is also recorded as staying here in 1781. The inn lies along a well-preserved segment of Rochambeau's march route.
