Delaware Avenue Historic District is a national historic district located at Buffalo, New York, United States, and Erie County.

When listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, the district encompassed 17 contributing buildings and 1 contributing structure reflective of when Buffalo had more millionaires per capita than any city in America, and this was once Millionaires' Mile. The mansions were built between about 1890 and World War I and reflect Renaissance Revival and Gothic Revival style architecture. Notable buildings include the Westminster Presbyterian Church (1858), the George and Charles Williams Houses (1894, 1896) by McKim, Mead & White, Stephen M. Clement House (1913) by Edward Brodhead Green (now Greater Buffalo American Red Cross Building), Seymour Knox House (1915) by Charles Pierrepont Gilbert, George Brewster Matthews House (1901), Thomas R.
