The New Plymouth Heritage List contains the heritage sites and buildings from New Plymouth registered in the New Zealand Heritage List/ (formerly the Register).

This list is maintained and updated by Heritage New Zealand (aka Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga, initially the National Historic Places Trust and, from 1963 to 2014, the New Zealand Historic Places Trust).

One of New Plymouth District Council's goals is to preserve the local cultural heritage items, such as buildings, structures and areas, archaeological and Wāhi Tapu (sacred place) sites. New Plymouth District Council has admitted that "more work needs to be done" to protect some of the city's oldest heritage buildings.

Architecture Now magazine presented an itinerary in New Plymouth including heritage buildings and stated: "The city remains the location of some of the oldest surviving architect-designed buildings in New Zealand." One of the first settlers arriving in New Plymouth in 1843 was Frederick Thatcher, a London-trained architect. He came with the intention to become a farmer, but was drawn into design and civic administration. At the direction of Bishop Selwyn he designed St. Mary's Cathedral and at direction of Governor Sir George Grey designed one of four hospitals (The Gables Colonial Hospital) ambitiously intended to serve both Māori and settlers.

However, some heritage buildings were lost. The former Taranaki Education Board Offices, previously registered by Heritage New Zealand as a category 2 building with list number 912, and Arcadia Lodge, listed as a Category B heritage building by the New Plymouth District Council, were demolished in 2022. Also, in August 2024 the backs of the former CC Ward buildings on Devon and Currie streets were demolished, but the façades of the buildings remained. The Devon St East building is registered by Heritage New Zealand as a category 2 building with list number 884.
