The Bristol Waterfront Historic District is a historic district encompassing the original heart of Bristol, Rhode Island, which was laid out in 1680 by the town's original proprietors.

It stretches from Bristol Harbor to the east side of Wood St., as far north as Washington Street, and south to Walker Cove.

The district features residential, civic, and commercial architecture encompassing most of its more than three centuries of existence.

Its 19th-century architecture is particularly strong in examples of the work of native son Russell Warren.
