South Main Street Residential Historic District in Statesboro, Georgia is a historic district that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.[1] It consists of 15 contributing buildings on properties along South Main Street and is bordered on the west by Walnut Street and on the east by railroad tracks.[2]

It was deemed significant architecturally as collection of early 20th-century bungalows that make up an intact neighborhood of single-family homes. The houses were built during 1910 to 1930. The majority of the houses are 1- or ​1 1⁄2-story houses with wide porches, broad roofs, and Craftsman woodwork details. The neighborhood includes an American Foursquare house and a few with Victorian Eclectic details.[2]
