The Birkbeck Building is a four-storey office building in Downtown Toronto, Ontario. It is a National Historic Site of Canada.

It was built in 1908–10 for the Canadian Birkbeck Investment and Savings Company. It was designated a National Historic Site in 1986 as an example of a transitional building which combines historical style with modern technology. The Ontario Heritage Foundation restored it in 1987 to use for their offices.
