Sperryville Historic District is a national historic district located at Sperryville, Rappahannock County, Virginia. It encompasses 63 contributing buildings in the village of Sperryville. The buildings are predominantly wood-frame, one-and two-story residences. They include a collection of former factory workers' housing built to serve the workers of the Smoot tannery from 1867 to the early 20th century. A number of the buildings were built after 1850 with ornamentation and board-and-batten siding that is suggestive of the mid-century Romantic Revivals. Notable buildings include the George William Cooper House, the Dr. Amiss House, and the Totten's Mill House.^[3]

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