The Melville Shoe Corporation was a Harrison, New York-based[1] shoe company.

Founded by Frank Melville in 1892,[2] the company was incorporated in 1916. From its inception through 1923 it never had an unprofitable year, and paid dividends on preferred stock from 1916 to 1923.[3]

In 1922 the company was reorganized as the Melville Corporation, which would grow into a major retail conglomerate.[2]
