The National Register of Historic Places listings in east Davenport, Iowa is defined as the area east of Brady Street (U.S. Route 61) and North of 5th Street.

The area includes 86 individually listed houses, other buildings, and historic districts. Of these, the great majority were covered in a 1982-1983 survey of historic properties in Davenport. That study covered some already listed properties, served as the nominating document for a good number more, and commented upon others that needed further documentation or otherwise weren't ready for listing at the time, but which were listed later.

Properties in Davenport are somewhat concentrated in several of Davenport's neighborhoods.

This National Park Service list is complete through NPS recent listings posted December 30, 2011.[1]

Current listings

The Davenport Plan and Zoning Commission divided the city into five areas: downtown, central, east end, near north, and northwest and west end. See Neighborhoods of Davenport, Iowa.
