Larkspur Downtown Historic District, known also as Old Downtown Larkspur, is a historic district along Magnolia Avenue in downtown Larkspur, Marin County, California.
The district covers the "Old Downtown" area, along Magnolia Avenue from the Lark Creek Inn at 234 Magnolia Ave to the platform on the former railway, now a bicycle path. The avenue has been the commercial center of activity in Larkspur since the town was founded. In 1980, the Larkspur City Council designated it to be a local Historic District and rezoned it as an overlay H Zone.
The historic district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It was asserted that the district is significant because it still has the ambiance of a small California town in the 1900 - 1930 era.
