The Gunn and Hubbard Blocks are historic blocks at 463-477 State Street in the Old Hill section of Springfield, Massachusetts. Located across the street from the Springfield Armory, these are two of the oldest commercial buildings in Springfield. The Gunn Block (473-477 State Street) was built in 1830 by Elisha Gunn, who traded in goods from the West Indies. The Hubbard Block (461-471 State Street) was built five years later by Asahel Hubbard, an inspector at the Armory, as a real estate venture. His principal tenant was Jonathan Bangs, the operator of a local grist mill. As the 19th century progressed, the center of commerce in Springfield moved to what is now the downtown area, but these two blocks continued to serve the neighborhood's needs until the 1890s, when Winchester Square became more important.

The blocks were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
