The Nabisco Shredded Wheat Factory is a defunct factory which originally produced variants of Shredded Wheat breakfast cereal in Welwyn Garden City, Hertfordshire, U.K. It was designed by architect Louis de Soissons who wanted to encourage companies to set up operations in garden cities. The design and ideals of the Welwyn Garden City factory were inspired by an existing one in Niagara Falls, United States, also operated by the Shredded Wheat Company of America. Two buildings were functional at the time of its opening, a southern grain silo complex with 18 units and a western three–storey production area. Further expansions to the factory took place in the 1930s and 1950s with the addition of 27 silos, a new production area and office space.

The factory is considered to be a local landmark, with its image used heavily in marketing for Shredded Wheat to portray the cereal as healthier and more hygienic than alternatives. Some buildings on the site were granted Grade II heritage status by Historic England on 16 January 1981. Since its closure in 2008, there have been proposals to redevelop the factory as a brownfield site for residential and commercial purposes. Parts of the factory have been demolished in preparation for anticipated construction work, including the newer 1930s silos.
