The Albers Brothers Milling Company building is a historic mill and contemporary office building located on the banks of the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon, United States. In the early decades of the 20th century, the German-immigrant Albers brothers built the largest flour and feed milling enterprise on the West Coast, headquartered in Portland and comprising operations in four states. This combined milling, warehousing, shipping, and office facility, built in 1909–1911, is the oldest remaining flour or feed mill in the city.[2] The silos built into the south elevation of the building are painted with representations some of the mill's products as advertisements.[4]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[3] It was unoccupied at that time, as the milling company had already left.[2] It was converted into an office building in 1989.[5]
