McCurdy Building, also known as the Sears, Roebuck and Company Building, is a historic commercial building located in downtown Evansville, Indiana. It was built in 1920, and is a four-story brick building. The first floor features large display windows framed with limestone pilasters. A two story addition was constructed in 1937, later raised to four stories in 1946. A two-story limestone faced addition, known as The Annex, was constructed in 1943. In 1925, it was occupied by the first Sears store to operate as a direct retail business independent of a catalog department.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
