The Publicity Building is a historic commercial building at 40-44 Bromfield Street in downtown Boston, Massachusetts. The five story brick and limestone building was designed by Arthur H. Bowditch and built in 1916. It is noted for its Beaux Arts styling and its largely intact cast-iron storefronts. Its name supposedly derives from an early concentration of press and media-related businesses which occupied its upper floors.[2]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.[1]
