The Union Street Historic District in Poughkeepsie, New York, United States, is an area of eight blocks (roughly 42 acres (17 ha)) southwest of downtown and just north of the Mid-Hudson Bridge approaches. It is the oldest neighborhood in the city.

It dates to 1767 when a path to the Hudson River was developed into a street. In 1971 it was designated a historic district and became the first property in the city to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
