Nazareth Historic District is a national historic district located at Nazareth, Northampton County, Pennsylvania. The district includes 503 contributing buildings and 1 contributing site (Moravian Congregational Cemetery) in a mostly residential area of Nazareth. Most of the buildings were built in the mid-19th to early-20th century, with a few dated to the 18th century. The buildings are primarily 2 1/2 stories tall and constructed of brick or frame. Most of the remaining stone buildings were built prior to 1858, when Nazareth came under civil control from the Moravian church. Notable non-residential buildings include the Nazareth Moravian Church (1861, St. John's U.C.C. Church (1905-1907), and St. John's Lutheran Church (1858). Located in the district is the separately listed Nazareth Hall Tract.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.[1]
