Blow-me-down Brook is a 12.8-mile (20.6 km) long[1]stream located in westernNew Hampshire in theUnited States. It is atributary of theConnecticut River, which flows toLong Island Sound.

Blow-me-down Brook begins near the northeast border of the town ofCornish, New Hampshire, below Stowell Hill. It flows west, passing through the village ofCornish Flat, where it is joined by Notch Brook, then flows northwest into the town ofPlainfield, where it takes a zig-zag course generally west, reentering Cornish shortly before its end at the Connecticut River. In Plainfield, it passes the villages of Hell Hollow and Mill Village and runs just east ofPlainfield's town center. In its lower course in Cornish, the brook passes the village of Squag City andSaint-Gaudens National Historic Site. TheBlow-Me-Down Covered Bridge crosses the brook at Squag City.

The watershed of Blow-me-down Brook extends to Croydon Mountain (sometimes known as Grantham Mountain and as Spruce Ball by most Cornish residents) in the northwestern corner of the town ofCroydon, just east of the town's boundary with Cornish. The brook was dredged from a small dam at the northeastern edge of Cornish Flat to the bridge that crossesState Route 120. This was done sometime before 1945 in order to avoid flooding.
