Dayton Industries Building is a former boxing venue located at 101 West 3rd Street in Dayton, Ohio, USA. It was constructed in 1908, and for a time was the second largest YMCA in the world. The YMCA left for a larger building in 1929. It remained known as the Industries Building until 1940, when it was purchased by the City of Dayton for municipal offices. The City of Dayton eventually conducted several renovations of the building, eventually converting it into the Dayton City Hall, which it is presently.

As a boxing venue, it was primarily used between 1934 and 1935, most notably staging the first three matches of the four fight rivalry between Joe Sekyra and Alabama Kid. Max Yinger was the promoter of the shows during this period.
