The 1967 Birmingham Police Department West Precinct (also called the Ensley Precinct) was the former headquarters of the Birmingham Police Department West Precinct at 616 19th Street Ensley, on the corner of Avenue G.

The two-story brick and stone-clad building was constructed in 1967 and housed police as well as municipal courts. When it opened, thirty patrol officers were stationed at the precinct house, but that number grew to 132 by 2012. A new headquarters opened at Five Points West in 2015.
