The Chickasaw Shipyard Village Historic District is a historic area in Chickasaw, Alabama. The site became historic for being a company town for shipyards during the early 20th century.

The Chickasaw Shipyard Village Historic District is actually where the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company placed its shipbuilding facility. They saw Chickasaw as an excellent location for their activities, since it has a deep waterway. The facility was built in 1917, in line with the formation of three companies, the Chicasaw Utilities Company, Chickasaw Land Company, and Chicasaw Shipbuilding and Car Company.

Soon enough the company town grew and houses as well as other facilities and structures were built. These properties compose the Chickasaw Shipyard Village Historic District today. it was added to the National Historic Registry in 2004 and the Chickasaw Historic Preservation Society now offers a driving tour around the area.
