Bronxville Womens' Club is a historic women's club located at Bronxville, Westchester County, New York. It was built in 1927–1928 and is a Colonial Revival–style building designed by noted local architect Penrose Stout (1887–1934). It is basically a T-shaped building constructed of stuccoed brick on a poured concrete foundation. The front elevation is one and one half stories with a central pavilion flanked by two smaller, recessed pavilions. It has a prominent slate-covered gable roof. The rear of the front section is two and one half stories tall. Most of the ground floor is occupied by an auditorium. The club was founded by Anna Bisand, daughter of William Van Duzer Lawrence (1842–1927), one of the founder of Bronxville.[2]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.[1]
