St. Vincent Villa Historic District is a national historic district located at Fort Wayne, Indiana. The district encompasses nine contributing buildings and one contributing site associated with a Catholic orphanage. The buildings were constructed between 1932 and 1950-1951, and include notable examples of Mission Revival, Romanesque Revival, and Bungalow / American Craftsman style institutional architecture. They include the Main Building (1932), four cottages (1932, 1951), the Boiler House (1932), and two bungalows (c. 1925). The property was sold by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Fort Wayne–South Bend to the YWCA of Fort Wayne in the 1970s.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[1]
