The Neiman Marcus Building is a historic commercial structure located in the Main Street District in downtown Dallas, Texas (USA). The structure was designed in 1914 by Green, LaRoche & Dahl with an interior by Robsjohn-Gibbings. In 1954, an escalator was added to a design by Eleanor LeMaire Associates who also designed the Zodiac Room Restaurant.

On December 19, 1964, the building caught fire in the costliest blaze in the city's history, destroying merchandise, art objects, and antique furniture worth an estimated $5-10 million. Remarkably, the building was not destroyed, and it reopened just 27 days later.

The building served as the corporate headquarters of Neiman Marcus until 2022 and will continue to serve as the flagship store until its planned closure in late 2025. It is the last of the original department stores still serving downtown Dallas and is a Recorded Texas Historic Landmark.
