North Central Historic District is a national historic district in Baltimore, Maryland, United States. It is an area of approximately 25 city blocks directly north of downtown Baltimore and includes 630 buildings. The roughly triangular-shaped, mixed-use district comprises late-19th century row housing, commercial storefronts from the turn of the 20th century through the 1950s, large industrial buildings, several older theatres, a church, and two school buildings. A broad variety of row house sizes and types reflects the diversity of the neighborhood's residents, ranging from the large and architecturally elaborate dwellings of the upper class to the small alley houses of working-class African Americans.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1]
