Ancienne Douane ({{IPA|fr|ɑ̃sjɛn dwan}}, "Old Custom house") is a 14th-century building on the Grande Île, the historic city centre of Strasbourg, France. The structure is classified as a Monument historique by the French Ministry of Culture since 1948.{{Base Mérimée|PA00085022|Ancienne douane}}

The custom house was built in 1358 and enlarged in 1389. It was heavily damaged by British and American bombing raids on 11 August 1944 and left as a ruin for almost two decades before being rebuilt according to the medieval plans by architect Robert Will (1910–1998).{{cite web|title=HISTOIRE - Ancienne Douane|url=http://anciennedouane.fr/ad-fr/histoire-2/|publisher=L'Ancienne Douane|accessdate=25 April 2017}}{{cite book|last1=Recht|first1=Roland|last2=Klein|first2=Jean-Pierre|last3=Foessel|first3=Georges|title=Connaître Strasbourg|date=1988|publisher=Éditions Alsatia|location=Colmar|isbn=2-7032-0185-0|page=135}}
