Pressmen's Home is a non-abandoned ghost town and former headquarters for the International Printing Pressmen and Assistants' Union of North America from 1911 to 1967, in the Poor Valley area of Hawkins County, Tennessee, United States, nine miles north of Rogersville. It included a trade school, a sanitarium, a retirement home, a hotel, a post office, a chapel, a hydroelectric power production plant, telecommunication utilities, and other facilities designed to make it a self-sufficient community.

The entire site of the complex is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district.
