The Gardiners warehouse (grid reference ST596729) is on Straight Street, Broad Plain, Bristol, England.

It was built in 1865 by William Bruce Gingell and is an example of the Bristol Byzantine style. It was originally part of Christopher Thomas and Brothers' soap works, but is now a warehouse. Some of the original florentine skyline ornament have since disappeared.[1]

It has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II listed building.[2]
