Bretton Woods is an area within the town of Carroll, New Hampshire, United States, whose principal points of interest are three leisure and recreation facilities.

In 1772, King George III granted Sir Thomas Wentworth of Bretton Hall, a country house in West Bretton, West Yorkshire, and 82 others, a parcel of 24,640 acres (9,970 ha) of land to be laid out as a plantation in the White Mountains.

The plantation became the town of Carroll, and the southeast corner of the land retained the name "Bretton Woods", after the estate.

The Cog was operated during the winter seasons of 2004 to 2006 to take wilderness skiers partway up the mountain.
