Prospect Green Historic District is a historic district in the New England town of Prospect, Connecticut. The district is centered on the Prospect Green, the town green.[2] The green is located on the highest settled point in New Haven County. The green is bounded by Route 68 and Center and Church Streets.[3]

The main part of the green is a Civil War Soldiers Monument (1907) situated near the center. Near it is a flag pole and another memorial. At the north end of the green is the town library built in 1903-1904.[3] Several historic buildings surround the green including, the current Congregational Church (built in 1941 and the fourth church on the site), the Grange Hall (1947), the Parsonage (1941), a 19th-century residence once used as a parsonage, and a school house (c. 1865, now used by the local historical society).[2]

The listing includes eight contributing buildings and three noncontributing; one contributing site; two contributing sites and two noncontributing.[2]
