Snellenburg's Clothing Factory is a historic factory complex located in the Spring Garden neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was built by the N. Snellenburg & Company and consists of two parts: a large, ornate building built in 1903, and a long, narrow building built in 1905. They are connected by a bridge at the fourth, fifth, and sixth floors. The front building is seven stories, constructed of limestone and brick with terra cotta ornament, and features a central tower.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]
