The Federal Hill Historic District is a national historic district located in Lynchburg, Virginia. The district includes some one dozen residential blocks in the heart of Lynchburg spread over 33 acres (130,000 m2). The district's architecture consists primarily of free-standing brick or frame houses in a variety of styles but of harmonious scale. Included are three important French Second Empire houses standing near one another on Harrison Street. There is also a notable assemblage of free-standing dwellings in architectural styles ranging in date from the early 19th century through the Edwardian styles of the early 20th century. There is an important collection of early Federal-style townhouses.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.
