The Edison Commercial Historic District is a 5-acre (2.0 ha) historic district in Edison, Georgia, United States that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000.^[1] It included 22 contributing buildings and a contributing structure, plus three buildings not deemed to contribute to the historic character of the district.^[2]

Most of the buildings are brick commercial buildings, and either one- or two-story. The majority front on Hartford Street, the main east–west street through the town.^[2]

Selected buildings in the district include:

Farmers Trading Company building (1912)
Theatre building (1951)
a former Bank of Edison building built in 1904 which is currently the city hall; this building is deemed non-contributing due to non-historic brick veneer which has been added to its facades.^[2]
