The Pratt City Substation is an electrical power substation operated by the Alabama Power Company at 2000 11th Street Ensley in Tuxedo Park subdivision of Birmingham's Ensley neighborhood. It is located on the south bank of Village Creek opposite South Pratt. It was constructed in 1941.

In 2024 Alabama Power proposed construction of a new transmission station on an 11-acre parcel of the former Ensley Works site, accessed from 1475 Pleasant Hill Road. The new station would handle high-voltage long-distance transmission, relegating the Pratt City Substation to local distribution.
