Marshall Field's Wholesale Store, Chicago, Illinois, sometimes referred to as the Marshall Field's Warehouse Store, was a landmark seven-story Henry Hobson Richardson-designed building.

Commissioned in 1885 by legendary merchant Marshall Field, H.H. Richardson, known from Buffalo's New York State Asylum, designed the exterior masonry piers and arches with interior framing of wood and iron. Intended for the wholesale business of his eponymously name department store, it opened in 1887 encompassing the block bounded by Quincy, Franklin, Adams and Wells Streets, near the location of the Chicago Board of Trade Building.

Marshall Field and Company closed the building in 1930 after the opening of then world's largest building, the Merchandise Mart, which consolidated all company wholesale business under a single roof. The wholesale store was torn down shortly after.
