National Register of Historic Places listings in southern Boston, Massachusetts

Location of Boston in Massachusetts

Boston, Massachusetts is home to a large number of listings on the National Register of Historic Places. This list encompasses those locations that are located south of the Massachusetts Turnpike. See National Register of Historic Places listings in northern Boston for listings north of the Turnpike. Properties and districts located elsewhere in Suffolk County's other three municipalities are also listed separately.

There are 317 properties and districts listed on the National Register in Suffolk County, including 58 National Historic Landmarks. The southern part of the city of Boston is the location of 152 of these properties and districts, including 13 National Historic Landmarks. Two historic districts overlap into both northern and southern Boston: milestones that make up the 1767 Milestones are found in both areas, and the Olmsted Park System extends through much of the city.

This National Park Service list is complete through NPS recent listings posted May 20, 2016.
