Sergeant Major's Row, Heritage terrace houses in The Rocks, Australia.

Sergeant Major's Row comprises five connected townhouses with sandstone facades and decorative iron details along George Street. The two-story structures display typical Victorian architectural features and remain intact as a distinctive residential block in this historic district.

The land was granted to Robert Campbell in 1834 and stayed undeveloped until Edward Stanley Ebsworth transferred it in 1878 and built five two-storey brick houses by December 1881. Tenants in 1882 included Joseph O'Connor, Frank Cook and Mary Ann Kendall. The Observatory Hill Resumption Act of 1900 brought the row under government ownership by 1903, and from 1969 No. 35 was home to Nita McRae, a founder of the Rocks Residents' Group.

The name Sergeant Major's Row was adopted by the Sydney Cove Redevelopment Authority as a reminder of an early term for George Street, which began as Spring Row, a track for water carriers, was humorously altered to Sergeant-Major's Row, then became High Street and finally George Street in 1810. A plaque at No. 35 marks Nita McRae, a founder of the Rocks Residents' Group and Green Bans activist who lived there from 1969.

The row sits on a main street and is visible from the sidewalk, though interior access may be limited due to current use. The location is well connected by public transport and makes for a natural stop while exploring the historic streets of The Rocks on foot.
