The Snake Alley Historic District is largely a residential area located in Burlington, Iowa, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975 and was included in the Heritage Hill Historic District, which surrounds it, in 1982. The historic district includes ten contributing properties. It is centered on Snake Alley, a 275-foot brick roadway, built in 1894, that rises 58.3 feet from Washington Street to Columbia Street. The alley receives its name from the five half curves and two quarter curves that climb the hill. Cobblestone Alley is the eastern boundary of the district.
