Maghull is a civil parish and a town in Sefton, Merseyside, England. It contains ten buildings that are recorded in the National Heritage List for England as designated listed buildings. Of these, one is listed at Grade II*, the middle of the three grades, and the others are at Grade II, the lowest grade.
The town developed after the arrival of the railway in 1849 and has become a dormitory town for Liverpool.

The other listed buildings include structures associated with these houses, a church, a ruined chapel, and a memorial.
