The Majorca Building is a neo-Romanesque,[1] eight-storey tall building in Melbourne, Australia, designed and constructed between 1928 and 1930. Located at 258-260 Flinders Lane, it was designed by Harry Norris, one of the most prolific architects in the city during the 1920s and '30s.

Norris's designs incorporated both emerging Australian and American architectural styles and the Majorca Building has been described as his best work incorporating faience.[1]
