Engleton (also spelled Engletown) is a section of the Midtown Harrisburg, Pennsylvania neighborhood created with a focus on architectural variety. It is roughly bounded by 2nd street to the west, Kelker Street to the north, 3rd street to the east and Reily Street to the south. Its Queen Anne and Italianate style homes were built in the 1890s by Benjamin H. Engle, who is the namesake of the area. Market appeal for these homes was created by varying the colors and treatments of the façades.[1]

Engleton contains one Historic Place on the National Register, the Simon Cameron School.
