The Flagey Building (French: Bâtiment Flagey, Dutch: Flageygebouw) also known as the Radio House (French: Maison de la Radio, Dutch: Radiohuis) is a building located in Ixelles, a municipality of Brussels, Belgium, housing the Flagey cultural centre. It is located on the south-western corner of Place Eugène Flagey/Eugène Flageyplein, with its main entrance on the Place Sainte-Croix/Heilig-Kruisplein.

The building, parts of which are listed, was designed by the architect Joseph Diongre [fr] and completed in 1938 in Streamline Moderne, an international style of Art Deco. It owes its name to Eugène Flagey [fr], a Belgian lawyer and politician who was mayor of Ixelles from 1935 to 1953. It served as the former headquarters of the Belgian National Institute of Radio Broadcasting (INR/NIR). When the broadcaster left in 1974, the building was refurbished as a cultural community centre.
