The Mayfield Downtown Commercial District is a historic district in Mayfield, Kentucky which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. The listing was increased in 1996.[1]

The original 27 acres (11 ha) area included 77 contributing buildings; the 18.4-acre (7.4 ha) increase added 21 more.[1] [2][3]

It includes the Graves County Courthouse, built in 1888 at cost of $40,000, the fourth courthouse at the location.[2]

Many of the buildings in the district, including the courthouse, suffered major to catastrophic damage on December 10–11, 2021, as a long-track EF4 tornado directly hit the city. Of the 98 buildings listed in the district, only four remain standing.
