The Glendale Historic District in Glendale, Kentucky is a 21.5 acres (8.7 ha) historic district which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.

It runs along Main St. between County Highway 1136 and Railroad Ave. It was "a notable collection of late 19th and early 20th century residential, and commercial architecture. The district is significant ... for its architectural character and ...for its role in the commercial history of the county.
