Abbeville Historic District is a historic district in Abbeville, South Carolina. It includes at least two separately listed Registered Historic Places, the Abbeville County Courthouse and the Abbeville Opera House. It also includes the Frazier-Pressley House and numerous other historic properties.

It was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places in 1972. Originally, it was roughly bounded by Seaboard Coastline RR, SR 72, Rickey, Haight, Hemphill and Haigler Sts.

A 1972 decrease of area, roughly E of Magazine St., S of Whitehall St., NW along Long Branch St., W of Lemon St., N along Washington St., decreased the size of the district. According to the National Register Information System, this decrease was approved simultaneously as the original district designation.

A 1984 increase, of area roughly W along N. Main St. from Haigler to Livingston Sts., N along Greenville St., and NE on Marshall Ct., added to the district.
