The Greenfield Hill Historic District is a historic district that was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1971.^[1]

It includes 27 contributing buildings over 175 acres (71 ha) in the neighborhood of Greenfield Hill, Connecticut.^[1]

It includes 38 principal houses or structures and 20 secondary structures, and a windmill.^[2]^:2 The district includes small streets around the Greenfield Hill Green but has a highly irregular shape extending south. It is drawn to include older, historic homes and to exclude newer, less-historic properties to the north of the green and around the listed area.^[2]

The district includes the Bronson Windmill, which is separately NRHP-listed.

The district, along with Southport Historic District and Fairfield Historic District is somewhat governed by Fairfield's Historic District Commission.
