The Legg Mason Building (formerly known as the USF&G building) is a 40-story skyscraper in downtown Baltimore completed in 1973. At 161m (529 ft), it stands as the tallest building in Baltimore, and it is also the tallest building in Maryland, and the tallest building between Philadelphia and Charlotte, though all of these titles will be usurped by 10 Inner Harbor, a new 59-story skyscraper projected to be completed in 2010.

The building is located in the block surrounded by Lombard Street, Charles Street, Pratt Street, and Light Street.

The building's primary occupant is asset manager Legg Mason, Inc. In February 2007, Legg Mason announced that it is moving in 2009 to a new skyscraper being built in the Inner Harbor East development. Previously, the building was occupied by USF&G, but they sold the building when they were purchased by the St. Paul Companies, which is now a unit of The Travelers Companies.
