Argus Building, Heritage newspaper building in Melbourne, Australia

The Argus Building is a six-storey purpose-built newspaper premises on the corner of La Trobe and Elizabeth Streets in Melbourne, completed in 1926 for The Argus and The Australasian. It is classified by the National Trust and listed on the Victorian Heritage Register, and since October 2016 it has housed the Melbourne campus of the Melbourne Institute of Technology.

The site held St John's church and school in 1855, later a row of two-storey Elizabeth Street shops. The Argus and The Australasian publishers built the six-storey premises, described in a 9 September 1926 supplement, "Entering the New Home". The final Argus issue left on Saturday 19 January 1957 after twenty years of losses. La Trobe University bought it for $8 million in 2004, selling to Shesh Ghale for $15 million in 2010; it reopened as the Melbourne Institute of Technology campus in October 2016.

The Argus was a letterpress newspaper produced here with a massive composing and printing plant; a special supplement, "Entering the New Home", marked the move on 9 September 1926. The building is classified by the National Trust and listed on the Victorian Heritage Register, and in 2012 it was assessed as one of Australia's top ten endangered heritage buildings.

The building now houses the Melbourne Institute of Technology and sits directly near Melbourne Central station. The location offers easy access by public transportation.

The site held St John's church and school in 1855; maps from 1880 and 1905 show an enlarged church and a row of two-storey shops along Elizabeth Street before the newspaper bought the land. In 2012 the building was named one of Australia's ten most endangered heritage places.
