Petersburg Breakthrough Battlefield is a historic district in Petersburg, Virginia. It was the location of a Union army breakthrough of the Petersburg to Richmond trenches and fortifications on April 2, 1865. The success of the breakthrough led to abandonment of Richmond by the General Robert E. Lee, a general retreat, and surrender at Appomattox Court House one week later.
In 2003 a historic district named "Petersburg Breakthrough Battlefield Historic District at Pamplin Historical Park", known also as VDHR # 026-5013, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. In 2006, a historic district named just "Petersburg Breakthrough Battlefield" was designated a U.S. National Historic Landmark. It is not known if there is any difference in boundaries between the 2003 and 2006 districts.
It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 2006.
The district may be included within Richmond National Battlefield Park, a U.S. National Park Service-administered area.
