The Garley Building fire took place on 20 November 1996 in the 16-storey Garley commercial building (Chinese: 嘉利大廈) located at 232–240 Nathan Road, Jordan, Hong Kong. The fire caused 41 deaths and 81 injuries. It was considered the worst building fire in Hong Kong during peacetime until it was surpassed by the Wang Fuk Court fire nearly three decades later. The fire damaged the bottom two floors and the top three floors of the building, while the middle floors remained relatively intact.
