This is a list of properties and districts in the District of Columbia on the National Register of Historic Places. There are more than 500 listings, including 74 National Historic Landmarks of the United States and another 13 places otherwise designated as historic sites of national importance by Congress or the President.

The locations of National Register properties and districts (at least for all showing latitude and longitude coordinates below), may be seen in a Google map by clicking on "Map of all coordinates".

The list is generally grouped by quadrant. The Northwest Quadrant has almost 400 listings, so is further divided into three parts. The part of the NW Quadrant nearest the National Mall is grouped with the Southwest quadrant and called "central Washington" for the purposes of this list. The following are approximate tallies of current listings by area.

Note that the White House, the Capitol building, and the United States Supreme Court Building are recorded in the National Register's NRIS database as a National Historic Landmarks, but as a matter of law these three buildings and associated buildings and grounds are legally exempted from listing in the National Register of Historic Places, according to the Historic Preservation Act of 1966, Section 107 (16 U.S.C. 470g).
