The Pittsburgh Athletic Association is a National Register of Historic Places building and club in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States.
Located at the corner of Fifth Avenue and Bigelow Boulevard in the city's Oakland (Pittsburgh) district, it faces three other landmark buildings: the University of Pittsburgh's Cathedral of Learning and William Pitt Union as well as the Soldiers and Sailors National Military Museum and Memorial.
Architect Benno Janssen (1874-1964) used a Venetian Renaissance palace as a prototype for his design, perhaps Palazzo Grimani or Libreria on Piazza San Marco. He completed the structure in 1911.
The Pittsburgh Athletic Association is a nonprofit membership club chartered in 1908. It continues today to offer comprehensive athletic facilites, sports lessons, spa services, fine dining, and overnight accommodations.
