Southport Bathing Pavilion, Heritage bathing site in Southport, Australia.

Southport Bathing Pavilion is a single-storey building on Marine Parade, opened on 20 December 1934 as a dressing and showering facility for bathers in the Broadwater. A newspaper report of the time described its design as Spanish. It was built for the Southport Town Council by contractor A. Ledbury to designs by the Brisbane partnership Hall & Phillips, at a cost of £1,195.

Southport Town Council built the pavilion in 1934 as a dressing and showering facility for bathers in the Broadwater. The architects were Hall & Phillips and the contractor A. Ledbury, who completed it for £1,195. It was one of two bathing pavilions opened on 20 December 1934 by Minister for Works Harry Bruce, as part of an Esplanade beautification scheme.

The pavilion's name comes from its original use: dressing and showering before bathing in the Broadwater. It opened on 20 December 1934, when the Minister for Works, Harry Bruce, spoke at the ceremony and private bathing-box owners were given one month's notice to remove their sheds. A newspaper described the design as Spanish.

The pavilion stands in a large park on the beach side of Marine Parade, close to the former Southport railway station site. It was built as a dressing and showering facility for bathers using the Broadwater, and silt deposits in the Broadwater later made it unsuitable for bathing. The building is single-storeyed and sits within the parkland created when five chains of land were resumed in 1965.

The pavilion was one of two bathing pavilions built in Southport in 1934; the other, the Main Beach Pavilion, was larger. Private bathing boxes on the beach were given one month's notice to be removed as the new buildings neared completion.
