The Mayor Andrew Broaddus is a 1928 lifesaving station in Louisville, Kentucky. A successor of the first ever lifesaving station in any western water that was built and operated in 1881 known as the Life Saving Station #10, the Broaddus is a unit of the United States Life-Saving Service.

Built to continue the tradition of protecting Ohio River travelers from the dangers of the Falls of Ohio, the Mayor Andrew Broaddus is the last inland waterway and floating lifestation that is of existence today. It is treasured for being one of the last evidences that the US Life-Saving Service ever existed.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989, the Mayor Andrew Broaddus now functions as an adjunct for the Belle of Louisville. It provides offices for the said ship.
