Gloversville Free Library is a historic library building located at Gloversville in Fulton County, New York. It was built in 1904, with funds provided by the philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. It is one of 3,000 such libraries constructed between 1885 and 1919, and one of 107 in New York State. Carnegie contributed $50,000 toward the cost to build. It is a two story Beaux-Arts style building. It consists of four parts: a domed entrance hall containing stairwells, a large central stack space, and two flanking wings that meet the central axis at a 45-degree angle.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
