The Beverly Hills Women's Club is an historic house and social club in Beverly Hills, California.

The club was founded in October 1916, and it served as a unit for the American Red Cross during the First World War.

In 1925, they raised US$4,000 at a horse show attended by the likes of Hobart Bosworth, Douglas Fairbanks, Mary Pickford, Stanley S. Anderson (owner of the Beverly Hills Hotel), Cecilia DeMille (daughter of Cecil B. DeMille), Charles E. Toberman, Silsby Spalding (Mayor of Beverly Hills), and Alphonzo Bell (developer of Bel Air, California). Later that year, they used that money to move into the newly constructed clubhouse. The clubhouse is a one-story, stucco-clad Spanish Colonial Revival with a tiled hip roof. It features pilasters, scrolled brackets, an entablature topped by a pediment with a shield and urn motif surrounding the main door, and casement windows. It was designed by the architectural team Gable & Wyant, who also designed Hangar One.

The clubhouse has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places listings in Los Angeles County, California since October 4, 2006.
