The United States Whip Company Complex or "United States Line Company Complex" is a historic factory located in Westfield, Massachusetts. It was owned and operated by one of the whip-making business that led Westfield to become widely known as "Whip City". The oldest building, #2, in the complex was built sometime before 1884. It is a three story brick building ten bays long and four wide, from which there is a connector a 1.5 story building that fronts on Thomas Street. These buildings were used from at least 1888 until 1928 for the manufacture of whips. After 1928 the building fronting on Elm Street was modified to accommodate retail stores and a theater, to a design by architect Malcolm B. Harding.
The factory complex was listed individually on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, and as part of an expanded Westfield Center Historic District in 2013.
