The Tate & Lyle Sugar Silo is a Grade II* listed building{{National Heritage List for England|num=1252955|desc=Sugar Silo, 173 Regent Road|accessdate=24 February 2014}}{{NHLE |num=1252955 |desc=Grade II* |accessdate=7 May 2009}} on Regent Road at Huskisson Dock in Kirkdale, north Liverpool, England.

Henry Tate established his Liverpool refinery in 1872, and Tate & Lyle built their huge concrete sugar silo in the 1950s, close to the Liverpool docks and has floor space of 85.000 sq feet, A huge conveyor tower was constructed next to it, and this was used to bring sugar up from ships in Huskisson Dock. The sugar was then transported via several other conveyors into the top of the silo.

Once in the silo, an overhead railway system was used to distribute the sugar along the length of the silo. The hopper ran along on a track, depositing the sugar through big grilles positioned between the rails. In 2009 the silo tower was in a state of disrepair and was on the Buildings at Risk Register, although as of 2022 it no longer features there.{{EHbarName|Liverpool}} accessed 15 September 2022 The silo itself is still used.
