The Spear Building is an 85,000-square-foot, four-story building that was a hat factory and wax novelty manufacturer in its 1920s heyday. It is located at 94-15 100th Street, between 94th and 95th Avenues one block from in the Woodhaven neighborhood of Queens, New York City, and is best known as the location of the Worksman Cycles Factory, a manufacturer of iconic pushcarts, tricycles and heavy duty bicycles.

The building was listed on the New York State Register of Historic Places in 2017.[1] The same year, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places as an example of an intact early 20th-century reinforced concrete factory complex.
