The '''Madison Square North Historic District''' is in [[Manhattan]], [[New York City]], and was created on June 26, 2001, by the city's [[Landmarks Preservation Commission]].<ref>[http://www.nyc.gov/html/lpc/downloads/pdf/maps/madison.pdf "Madison Square North Historic District"] map</ref>

Lying north and west of [[Madison Square Park]], the district's boundaries are irregular.  The main southern boundary is 26th Street between [[Madison Avenue]] almost to the [[Avenue of the Americas]] ("Sixth Avenue"), but a portion of 25th Street, from [[Fifth Avenue]] to somewhat west of [[Broadway (Manhattan)|Broadway]], is included.  On the north, the district goes no further than 29th Street, but portions of it stop at 28th Street or between 27th Street and 28th Street.  From east to west, the district is entirely between Madison and Sixth Avenues, without encompassing the entirety of any of these blocks.

According to the commission's Designation Report, the District:

<blockquote>consists of approximately 96 buildings representing the period of New York City's commercial history from the 1870s to the 1930s when this section prospered, first, as a major entertainment district of hotels, clubs, stores and apartment buildings, and then, as a mercantile district of high-rise office and loft structures. ... [T]he district also contains numerous row houses, Art-Deco style towers, as well as modest twentieth-century commercial structures, all of which testify to each successive phase in [the] area's development.<ref name=lpc>New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission [http://www.neighborhoodpreservationcenter.org/db/bb_files/2001MadisonSquareNorthHD.pdf "Madison Square North Historic District Designation Report"]</ref></blockquote>

The Historic District lies primarily within the Manhattan neighborhood known as [[NoMad]], for "NOrth of MADison Square Park".
