Colonial Place is a residential neighborhood in Norfolk, Virginia. It is a peninsula bordered by 38th Street on the south, and surrounded on three sides by the Lafayette River. It is a relatively racially mixed area that includes mostly single family homes and a few apartment buildings. Many large homes front the water and Mayflower Road arches around the shore of the river.

The Colonial Place Historic District is a national historic district listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.[1] It encompasses 1,090 contributing buildings and 4 contributing sites in a primarily residential section of Norfolk.
