The Steam Engine Company No. 7 building is a historic firehouse located in Louisville, Kentucky, United States. The two-story, brick structure was built in 1871. It is an excellent example of the application of Victorian design principles to a utilitarian public building, and is stylistically related to contemporary buildings in the Limerick neighborhood.

The firehouse was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 in recognition of its architectural significance.
