This is a list of the National Register of Historic Places listings in Charleston County, South Carolina.
This is intended to be a complete list of the properties and districts on the National Register of Historic Places in Charleston County, South Carolina, United States.

The city of Charleston is the location of 101 of these properties and districts, including 34 of the National Historic Landmarks; they are listed separately, while 99 properties and districts in the remaining parts of the county, including 9 National Historic Landmarks, are listed here.
