The Middle Haddam Historic District is a historic district in the town of East Hampton, Connecticut. It encompasses a small residential area, in which most of the housing stock was built between 1750 and the mid-19th century. Middle Haddam was an important port on the Connecticut River between about 1730 and 1880, acting as a shipment point for trade with the West Indies and the North American coast, and as the site of shipyards building ocean-going vessels. The most prominent building in the village is the Second Congregational Church, built in 1855 and given High Victorian styling in the 1870s.^[2]

Among others, the Princeton University and Yale Divinity School-educated Second Great Awakening evangelist James Brainerd Taylor (1801–1829) was born in Middle Haddam's historic district. As a boy, Taylor attended the town's still-standing Christ Episcopal Church (est. 1786).

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.^[1]
