Wall Street Historic District, National Register historic district in Lower Manhattan, United States.

The district spans 63 acres and contains 65 buildings following medieval European street patterns instead of Manhattan's standard grid system.

The area received its name from a protective wall built by Dutch colonists in the 17th century to separate their settlement from Native American territories.

The district includes Federal Hall National Memorial, which served as the first United States Capitol when New York City was the national capital.

Many former financial buildings in the district now function as residential apartments with direct access to multiple subway lines.

Twenty-one buildings within the district hold individual listings on the National Register of Historic Places and New York City Landmarks status.
