Liverpool is a city and port in Merseyside, England, which contains many listed buildings. A listed building is a structure designated by English Heritage of being of architectural and/or of historical importance and, as such, is included in the National Heritage List for England. There are three grades of listing, according to the degree of importance of the structure. Grade I includes those buildings that are of "exceptional interest, sometimes considered to be internationally important"; the buildings in Grade II* are "particularly important buildings of more than special interest"; and those in Grade II are "nationally important and of special interest". Very few buildings are included in Grade I — only 2.5% of the total. Grade II* buildings represent 5.5% of the total, while the great majority, 92%, are included in Grade II.^[1]

Liverpool contains more than 1,550 listed buildings, of which 28 are in Grade I, 109 in Grade II*, and the rest in Grade II.^{[lower-alpha 1]} This list contains the Grade II listed buildings in the L5 postal district of Liverpool. This area lies to the north of the centre of the city. It contains docks, including Stanley Dock, the original west end of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, and the residential districts of Vauxhall, and Everton. The listed buildings include structures relating to the docks and canal, and elsewhere, churches, houses, a lock-up, a public house, a library, and lamp posts.
