The Cunard Building is a building of elegant proportion, sited on the Pier Head at Liverpool. It was constructed between 1914 and 1918 as the headquarters of Cunard Line, and is now the second of Liverpool's "Three Graces".

The design was by Willink and Thicknesse; Arthur Davis acted as a consultant. It is heavily influenced by Italian palace design. The building is a Grade II* Listed Building.

The Cunard Building remained the headquarters of Cunard until the 1960s, when the company sold the building to Prudential plc and based itself entirely in Southampton.

The Cunard Building is noted in Liverpool for its distinctive shape; it is wider at the back than the front. It is said to have been designed like this to resemble a boat, widening from prow to stern.
