This article is about the current farmer's market. For the 1900s market at 401 20th Street North, see Central Market.

The Birmingham Central Market is a farmers' market hosted at the Birmingham Intermodal Facility at 1825 Morris Avenue in downtown Birmingham.

The market was planned to help address food deserts which impact many residents of Birmingham, and especially those who rely on public transit. The City of Birmingham appropriated $100,000 toward the development of the market stand, with another $50,000 provided through a grant from the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs.

The Birmingham Central Market opened in September 2019.
