Charlotte Amalie Historic District, Colonial historic district in Charlotte Amalie, US Virgin Islands.

Charlotte Amalie Historic District covers 165.3 acres of Charlotte Amalie on Saint Thomas, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976 with 574 contributing buildings, three contributing structures and one contributing object. It takes in the whole former St. Thomas National Historic Site, a national historic site from 1960 to 1975, and the local historic and architectural control district. Fort Christian, begun around 1666, stands at its core.

Danish settlers established the district in the late 1600s, with Fort Christian built as the first European structure between 1666 and 1680. The area later became a major trading center and port that shaped regional commerce and settlement patterns.

Emancipation Park sits at the heart of the district as a gathering place where locals and visitors meet throughout the day. It marks the liberation of enslaved people and remains central to how people experience and use the space today.

The district offers several walking paths connecting different sites, with visitor information available near the harbor. Wear good shoes since many streets are steep and made of uneven historic stone surfaces.

The district's boundaries take in all 574 contributing buildings, three contributing structures and one contributing object counted when it was listed in 1976. Among the properties is 13 Wimmelskafts, a c.1837 building that housed enslaved Africans and later servants of wealthy families such as the Von Bretton family.
