The West Side Market is the oldest operating indoor/outdoor market space in Cleveland, Ohio. It is located at the corner of West 25th Lorain Avenue in the Ohio City neighborhood. On December 18, 1973, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places; the market began operating across the street from its current location. Josiah Barber and Richard Lord, prominent businessmen and both former mayors of Ohio City before it was incorporated into Cleveland, donated the tract of land to Ohio City's government, stipulating that the land be used for an open-air neighborhood market; the market space became a center of the Ohio City community for the following three decades, other benefactors donated adjacent lands that allowed the marketplace to expand. In 1868, a one-story, wooden framed building was erected on the site, the newly christened Pearl Street Market was opened. Thanks to brisk population growth in Cleveland and Ohio City in the latter part of the 19th century, the market outgrew its space yet again.

In 1902, lands were purchased across the street from the Pearl Market site, to allow for market expansion and eventual construction of additional indoor market space. Cleveland architectural firm Hubbell and Benes was contracted to create the new indoor space and, after nearly a decade of planning and construction, the current West Side Market building was finished in 1912 at a cost of nearly $680,000; the Neo-Classical/Byzantine building is a brick construct with a large interior concourse that provides nearly 100 stalls for sellers, an 85-stall outdoor produce arcade that wraps around the side and rear of the main building. In addition, the building has a large clock tower, visible from most of Ohio City in the building's early days. In 1915, the permanent building spurred sellers to establish the West Side Market Tenants' Association, a coalition founded to help maintain the market and organize for future improvements and additions; this organization still exists at the Market today. Periodic upgrades maintained and improved the overall conditions.

A fuller, $1.1 million modernization was undertaken in 1953 to add lower-level storage areas and upgrade stalls in the arcade. Another renovation, this one for $5 million, took place after the Market was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973; the market's profile rose in the latter portion of the 20th century. Politicians passing through Cleveland stopped in to sample the array of foods that the Market has on sale on any given day; the Market began sponsoring major food festivals in the neighborhood, which drew people from all corners of Cleveland and abroad. Despite the successes of the 1980s, the Market began to face financial straits as Cleveland itself was experiencing monetary struggles. A large portion of the Market's subsidies from the city dried up, leaving tenants of the Market to pay higher rents to keep the Market open, yet the Market was renovated throughout the 1990s and into the 21st century. A 2004 project enclosed the arcade portion of the market, adding space heating there, completed major interior and architectural renovations to the main building.

The market's centennial was celebrated in 2012. Most residents of the neighborhood, many Clevelanders in general, still do a large portion of their shopping at the Market; the market is open to customers Mondays and Wednesdays from 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays from 7:00 a.m to 6:00 p.m. and Sundays from 12 p.m to 6:00 p.m. The market attracts tourists from all parts of the United States, who tour the market and learn about its history. Guided tours are offered, its national profile has been boosted in recent years by coverage on various programs produced by the Travel Channel and Food Network. Many stalls have remained under individual family control for much of the life of the Market, in a few cases dating back to its 1912 opening; the market's tenants and sellers reflect the cultural diversity of the surrounding neighborhood and Cleveland as a whole. The current roster of tenants includes those of Irish, Slovene, Hungarian, Polish and Middle Eastern descents, among others. In the September 2010 issue of Food Network Magazine, the West Side Market was named America's "Best Food Lovers' Market."

On January 30, 2013, the market was temporarily closed after a fire left soot damage. In 2016 city officials announced that starting April 3 of that year the market would add regular Sunday hours for the first time in its history.
