Park Circle Historic District is a national historic district located at Baltimore, Maryland. The district is historically important as an example of an early suburban Jewish neighborhood. Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe began to settle in the neighborhood, moving from East Baltimore. This set the pattern for the future expansion of Baltimore's Jewish community.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.[1]
