Potters Mills is a hamlet in Potter Township, Centre County, Pennsylvania, United States, just east of the Potter-Allison Farm. It is named after General James Potter (1729–1789), who built a log cabin and grist mill there, at what is now the intersection of General Potter Highway (U.S. Route 322) and the Old Fort Road (Pennsylvania Route 144).
