The West Falmouth Village Historic District is a historic district along West Falmouth Highway (Massachusetts Route 28A) in West Falmouth, Massachusetts, which is a village in the town of Falmouth, Massachusetts. The northern end of the historic district is approximately at Bourne Farm, near Thomas Landers Road, extending south along Route 28A through West Falmouth Village to about Garrison Road.[2]

The area was settled in 1673 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.

Several of the historic buildings in West Falmouth Village are the West Falmouth Library,[3] the Quaker Meeting House and Quaker Carriage Sheds,[4] Emerson House, the West Falmouth Fire Station, and numerous historic houses.
