Steel Heddle Manufacturing Company Complex is a historic factory complex located in the Allegheny West neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The complex consists of four buildings: the Plant (1919, 1925–1927), Main Office (c. 1919–1922), Chrome Plating Building (1951), and Lumber Storage and Garage (1930). The Plan is a five-story, "U"-shaped, reinforced concrete building on a raised basement. The Steel Heddle Manufacturing Company manufactured heddles and other textile loom accessories. The Philadelphia plant remained in operation until 1983.^[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.^[1] In 2018, NBC10 erroneously reported that the complex was destroyed by fire, but the buildings that burned were a block away and unrelated to Steel Heddle. The vacant Steel Heddle plant still stands in 2019.^[3]
