The YWCA of Duluth is a former YWCA building in Duluth, Minnesota, United States. It was built in 1908 to provide programs and activities for Duluth's young, single women. It contained a gymnasium, swimming pool, cafeteria, meeting rooms, and apartments. In addition to the organization's usual suite of athletics, Bible study, and employment assistance, the YWCA of Duluth catered to the city's large foreign-born population with English and citizenship classes.[2] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011 for its local significance in the theme of social history.[3] It was nominated for its role in local civic development through the YWCA's social welfare efforts.[2]

The YWCA of Duluth closed in 2008.[2]
