The Leeds Corn Exchange is a Victorian themed building in Leeds, England, built in 1863.

The Leeds Corn Exchange was designed by Cuthbert Brodrick, an architect from Hull, UK best known for his designs for Leeds Town Hall. The building was built between 1861 and 1863. The dome design was inspired by the Bourse de commerce in Paris by François-Joseph Bélanger and François Brunet.

Previously, the Leeds Corn Exchange building was indeed used as a means of exchanging corn commodities. However, in the late 1980s, the building was renovated and converted into a retail shopping facility.

In 2017 the Leeds Corn Exchange was acquired by property company Rushbond. As of 2019, the Corn Exchange contained around 30 independent retailers and food outlets.
