National Register of Historic Places listings in Charleston, South Carolina

This is a list of the National Register of Historic Places listings in Charleston, South Carolina.

Location of Charleston in South Carolina

This is intended to be a complete list of the properties and districts on the National Register of Historic Places in Charleston, South Carolina, United States. The locations of National Register properties and districts for which the latitude and longitude coordinates are included below, may be seen in an online map.[1]

There are 197 properties and districts listed on the National Register in Charleston County, including 43 National Historic Landmarks. The city of Charleston is the location of 101 of these properties and districts, including 34 of the National Historic Landmarks; they are listed here, while the other properties and districts in the remaining parts of the county are listed separately. Another property in Charleston was once listed but has been removed. Three properties and districts — the Ashley River Historic District, Ashley River Road, and the Secessionville Historic District — are split between the city and the other parts of the county, and are thus included on both lists.

This National Park Service list is complete through NPS recent listings posted January 29, 2021.[2]
