2120 South Michigan Avenue was the location of Chess Records studio from 1957 to 1967.

Chess Records was based at several different locations on the south side of Chicago, Illinois, the most famous being at 2120 S. Michigan Avenue from c. 1956 to c. 1965, immortalized by British rock group The Rolling Stones in their song "2120 South Michigan Avenue", which was an instrumental recorded at that address during their first U.S. tour in 1964. The Rolling Stones would record at Chess Studios two more times.

The building was named a Chicago Landmark in 1990. It is now home to Willie Dixon's Blues Heaven Foundation.
