The Karcher Block is a historic commercial building located at 366 S. Pierre St. in Pierre, South Dakota. Businessman Henry Karcher commissioned the Italianate building in 1884.

Due to the Karcher Block and the Central Block, another major commercial building, West Pierre became Pierre's main business district.
