The Saint Michaels Historic District encompasses the historic center of Saint Michaels, Maryland, U.S.A. The late 18th- and early 19th-century town is a small seaport on a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay which has retained a high degree of historic integrity. Of particular interest are an unusual number of gallery-fronted houses.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.

While writing Chesapeake, James Michener lived here, both researching for the book and experiencing life in the historic town.
