List of National Historic Landmarks in South Carolina

List of historical landmarks

This is a List of National Historic Landmarks in South Carolina, United States. The United States' National Historic Landmark (NHL) program is operated under the auspices of the National Park Service, and recognizes buildings, sites, structures, districts, and objects according to a list of criteria of national significance. There are 76 NHLs in South Carolina and 3 additional National Park Service-administered areas of primarily historic importance.

Architects whose work is recognized by two or more separate NHLs in the state are:

Robert Mills (8 sites),
Edward Brickell White (4 sites),
Gabriel Manigault (3 sites), and
William Wallace Anderson (2 sites).

These tallies do not include any buildings that are contributing properties within historic districts unless they are also individually designated as NHLs.

There are five places listed for their association with artists and writers.

There are four World War II-era museum ships; all are located at Patriot's Point in Charleston Harbor.
