Madonna Acres Historic District is a historic post-World War II neighborhood and national historic district located 1 1/2-miles east of downtown Raleigh, North Carolina. The district encompasses 36 contributing buildings in Raleigh’s first subdivision developed by an African American for African Americans. It includes a collection of Split-level and Ranch-style houses constructed of brick with accent walls of stone veneer or wood. A number of the houses feature carports.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.
