The Hicks Building is a building in the city of Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England, part of the University of Sheffield. It is named in honour after William Mitchinson Hicks.

The building houses the departments of Physics and Astronomy, the Chemistry and Physics Workshop (formally known as the Central Mechanical Workshops) and the School of Mathematics and Statistics, which comprises the departments of Probability and Statistics, Applied Mathematics and Pure Mathematics.

It is in three sections: a taller building, with a roof height of around {{Convert|40|m|ft}}, clad in red-brick; a shorter, fully linked section which is only around {{Convert|12|m|ft}} tall, clad in blue tiles and glass; and a section facing the University Concourse, around {{Convert|15|m|ft}} tall, clad in blue, following a re-paint in 2010.
