Occoquan Historic District is a national historic district located at Occoquan, Prince William County, Virginia. It encompasses 60 contributing buildings in the town of Occoquan. The buildings are predominantly frame, two-story, residential structures although the earliest examples are constructed of stone or brick. The Ellicott's Mill House (c. 1760) houses Historic Occoquan, Inc. The district also includes a number of notable non-residential buildings including the Hammill Hotel (c. 1830), Ebenezer Church (1924), Methodist church (1926), and Crescent Lodge #3 (1889). Located in the district is the separately listed Rockledge.[3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]
