Birmingham Iron Age was a newspaper for whites in Birmingham, Alabama and Jefferson County, Alabama from 1874 to 1901.

The newspaper merged with Rufus N. Rhodes' Daily Herald November 8, 1888 to form the Birmingham Age-Herald. The building features high Victorian Italianate architecture. In 1901 Alabama instituted a new constitution to disenfranchise African Americans.

In 2020 the newspaper's building was purchased and a redevelopment plan launched. The building is at 212 20th Street North and was constructed in 1886. It is one of two surviving cast-iron building fronts in Birmingham. The Zinser Building is the other. The newspaper's 3-story building was also home to The Birmingham Age-Herald.
