The Keokuk Young Women's Christian Association Building in Keokuk, Iowa, United States is a historic building that was built in 1913. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004. The building was home to the YWCA in Keokuk for nearly 50 years. The YMCA sat across the street until the building was demolished in 1975. The building served as a hub for social activities in the community. It is representative of transitional architecture in the early 20th century. In 1976 the building was renovated for use as the courthouse for southern Lee County. Those functions were transferred to the former United States Post Office and Courthouse in 1992.
