The North Broadway Historic District in Tupelo, Mississippi, is a 4-acre (1.6 ha) historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
The district consists of one block of North Broadway Street. In its NRHP nomination it was said to "represent a rare example of an intact late- nineteenth and early twentieth century Tupelo streetscape, in a community which saw most of its pre-1936 housing stock destroyed in a devastating tornado."
The district includes 13 properties, each with a wood-frame house. Eight of the houses were deemed to contribute significantly to the historic character of the district, while five contributed marginally.
