Goldfield Historic District is a historic district located in the center of Goldfield, Esmeralda County, Nevada. Roughly bounded by 5th Street and Miner, Spring, Crystal and Elliott avenues, the district encompasses 200 acres (81 ha) of the unincorporated community of Goldfield. The district contains nearly 120 buildings, most dating from the time of Goldfield's initial boom, 1904 to 1909. Goldfield became a regional and national center of attention during Nevada's twentieth century mining boom, comparable to the Great Comstock era in the previous century.[1]

On June 14, 1982 the district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1]
