Lukens Main Office Building is a historic office building located at Coatesville, Chester County, Pennsylvania, USA. The original section was designed by the architectural firm of Cope & Stewardson and built in 1902, for the Lukens Steel Company. It is a 2½-story, seven bay, brick "T"-shaped building in a Colonial Revival / Georgian Revival style. It has a hipped roof with dormers and flanking two-story, three bay wings. A duplicate of the original structure was added to it in 1916, making it an "H"-shaped building. The addition was designed by the successor firm of Page & Stewardson.[2] Today the building is home to the National Iron & Steel Heritage Museum and other local businesses and organizations.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.[1]
