The Florida Power and Light Company Ice Plant, also referred to as the City Products Corporation Ice Plant or simply the Ice Plant by locals, is a notable historic industrial site situated in Melbourne, Florida. This facility, once managed by Florida Power & Light, is located at 1604 South Harbor City Boulevard. It earned a place on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on November 17, 1982.

Construction commenced in December 1926 following permit approval and was finalized by the spring of 1927. Although the initial budget was set at $30,000, the project ultimately cost $100,000. At its operational peak, the plant produced up to 50 tons of ice before shutting down in 1977. Since its closure, multiple redevelopment plans have explored transforming the facility into spaces for dining, offices, or residential use.
