The Riverside Hotel is a historic former hotel in St. Francis, Minnesota, United States. It was originally built around 1860 as a residence, then expanded into a hotel beginning in 1891. This period spanned the heyday of the local lumber industry that urbanized present-day Anoka County, Minnesota. The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979 for its local significance in the theme of commerce. It was nominated for being the only surviving commercial building dating to St. Francis's settlement as a lumber boomtown, and its association with the Woodbury family that helped found St. Francis and Anoka, Minnesota.
The building is now a restaurant called the Rum River Inn.
