The Clifton Heights Historic District is a 26-acre (11 ha) historic district in Natchez, Mississippi, USA, that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It then included 41 contributing buildings.[1]

The neighborhood started as a subdivision, one of the first in Natchez, in 1888 by the Clifton Heights Improvement Corporation. Its historic buildings were built mostly during 1888–1910 in Queen Anne and Colonial Revival styles of architecture. It includes all three known Natchez examples of Shingle Style article, at 217 and 219 and 310 Linton Avenue, and also the only known Tudor architecture in Natchez. Other architecture also appears.[2] The district was deemed significant as "the most architecturally and historically significant collection of late nineteenth and early twentieth-century residences in Natchez".[2]: 11
