This list of historic places in the Chatham Islands covers all historical areas, places and buildings in the Chatham Islands listed by Heritage New Zealand on the New Zealand Heritage List / Rārangi Kōrero. Registered historic buildings in the Chathams primarily comprise houses and cottages constructed in the late 19th century, following the construction of Hough Cottage (the earliest surviving building on the islands) c. 1860.[1][2]

Heritage New Zealand classification of sites distinguishes between Category 1 ("places of special or outstanding historical or cultural significance") and Category 2 ("places of historic or cultural significance"). Sites important to Māori or Moriori interest are given special classifications, including Wāhi Tapu for sites of spiritual, traditional, or ritual importance.[3]
