Cairo Flats is a heritage-listed apartment building in the Melbourne inner city suburb of Fitzroy. The building was designed in 1935 by architect Acheson Best Overend and built in 1936.

It is a U-shaped, two story building comprising 28 individual residences. Overend was influenced by modernist architect Wells Coates and the "minimum flat concept". Each unit in the Cairo Flats was designed to "provide maximum amenity in minimum space for minimum rent". In its Victorian Heritage register entry, the building's cantilevered concrete stairs between levels was noted as an unusual innovation.
