Livestock Exchange Building (now demolished) was a historic commercial building located at St. Joseph, Missouri. It was designed by architect Edmond Jacques Eckel (1845–1934) and built in 1898–1899. It is a four-story, red brick and stone building with Neoclassical style ornamentation. Also on the property are two contributing multi-car garages and a loading platform. The building was once considered the crown jewel in the vast stockyards and packinghouses on the south side of St. Joseph.[2]: 5 

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2004, and was delisted in 2025.[1]
