Russian Hill-Paris Block Architectural District, Historic district in Russian Hill, San Francisco, United States.

The Russian Hill-Paris Block Architectural District is a 1.5-acre residential enclave on Green Street in San Francisco, made up of eleven single or multiple dwellings at 1017 to 1067 Green Street. Each of the eleven buildings represents a different architectural style, yet all sit similarly on their lots with front yards, and the houses on the north side back onto Macondray Lane. The Feusier Octagon House is among the residences.

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on January 7, 1988, for its architecture. It covers 1.5 acres (0.61 ha) and takes in eleven dwellings at 1017 to 1067 Green Street, whose back property lines run along Macondray Lane. The name "Paris Block" appears in print only from 1964; its origin is unknown, though it is thought to refer to the Bos Apartments at 1050 Green Street, designed by Lewis P. Hobart, a graduate of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris.
