Gloversville Armory is a historic National Guard armory building located at Gloversville in Fulton County, New York. It is a brick and red sandstone castle-like structure built in 1903-1904, designed to be reminiscent of medieval military structures in Europe. It was designed by State Architect George L. Heins.

It consists of a two-story administration building with an attached drill shed. The building features three engaged irregular towers; a five-story octagonal tower, two-story square tower with hipped roof, and two-story tower with crenelated parapet.[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995.[1]
