O'Connor and Goldberg was a chain of shoe stores in Chicago that operated from the early 1900s through at least the 1970s.[1][2]

The company operated stores in several shopping districts throughout the area.[3] One of the company's more noteworthy stores was in the Heyworth Building in Chicago's Loop whose elaborate bronze entry was designed by architect Frederick P. Dinkelberg.[4] In addition, the company was a sponsor on the Chicago Cubs radio broadcasts in the 1960s.

Economist Milton Friedman briefly worked at one store in 1932.[5]
