Midtown is a neighborhood in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Its zip code is 17102. The Midtown neighborhood is delineated by Forster Street to the south, Maclay Street to the north, 7th Street to the east, and the Susquehanna River to the west. Much of this neighborhood fell into disrepair in the 1980s, but it has grown popular in recent years. Sections have undergone gentrification and have experienced rising real estate costs. This is primarily due to a strong housing stock for renovation and proximity to the Central Business District, which has been experiencing growth itself. Midtown is home to the Pennsylvania Governor's Mansion and the Broad Street Market, the oldest continually operated street market in the country.

The section of Midtown from Reily to Kelker Streets and 2nd to 3rd Streets is known as Engletown. Its Queen Anne style homes were built in the 1890s by Benjamin Engle. The Old Uptown, Old Midtown, and Old Fox Ridge historic districts listed on the National Register of Historic Places are all contained within the Midtown neighborhood.
