The University of Michigan Central Campus Historic District is a historic district on the Central Campus of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, Michigan, in the United States. The historic district was first listed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 15, 1978.

The Central Campus Historic District was the site of the original campus buildings of the university. It includes around 30 contributing properties and six noncontributing properties, bounded by Huron, Monroe, and State streets and Washtenaw Avenue. The Michigan State Historic Preservation Office states: "The varied collection of styles, colors and textures of buildings designed by some of Michigan's premier architects contributes to the unique visual aesthetic of the district. Generally recognized as the figurative heart of campus, the district retains its original character and represents an architectural history of the university's growth."

The first buildings on campus were four Italianate houses, built for university faculty in 1840. Another early building is the neoclassical-inspired Chemistry Building, added in 1856, designed by A. H. Jordan of Detroit. By 1930, most major buildings on central campus were already complete, and "since that time, careful planning has resulted in well maintained, primarily unaltered structures and an architectural record of the university's growth."

Represented architects include Albert Kahn (who was the university's supervising architect from 1920 to 1925), Donaldson & Meier, Smith Hinchman & Grylls, Spier & Rohns, and York & Sawyer.
