This is a List of National Historic Landmarks in South Carolina, United States. The United States' National Historic Landmark (NHL) program is operated under the auspices of the National Park Service, and recognizes buildings, sites, structures, districts, and objects according to a list of criteria of national significance.[1] There are 76 NHLs in South Carolina and 3 additional National Park Service-administered areas of primarily historic importance.[2]
Architects whose work is recognized by two or more separate NHLs in the state are:

Historic areas of the National Park System in South Carolina
National Historic Sites, National Historic Parks, National Memorials, and certain other areas listed in the National Park system are historic landmarks of national importance that are highly protected already, often before the inauguration of the NHL program in 1960, and are then often not also named NHLs per se. There are five of these in South Carolina. The National Park Service lists these five together with the NHLs in the state,[11] The Charles Pinckney National Historic Site (also known as Snee Farm) and Ninety Six National Historic Site
are also NHLs and are listed above. The remaining three are:
