Banjir bir London merupakan kemalangan di Kilang Bir Horse Shoe Meux & Co, London, pada 17 Oktober 1814. Kemalangan itu berlaku apabila salah satu tong kayu penapaian porter 22-kaki tinggi (6.7 m) pecah. Tekanan cecair yang terkeluar menanggalkan injap bekas lain dan menghancurkan beberapa tong besar: antara 128,000 dan 323,000 gelen imperial (580,000–1,470,000 l; 154,000–388,000 gal A.S.) bir terkeluar pada keseluruhannya.
Gelombang porter berikutnya menghancurkan dinding belakang kilang bir dan melanda kawasan kediaman sesak yang dikenali sebagai "sarang gagak" St Giles. Lapan orang terkorban, lima daripada mereka orang yang berkabung di upacara penjagaan mayat yang diadakan oleh sebuah keluarga Ireland untuk budak lelaki berumur dua tahun. Inkues koroner mengumumkan keputusan bahawa lapan yang telah diragut nyawa "secara kasual, tidak sengaja dan oleh kemalangan".[1] Kilang bir hampir muflis oleh peristiwa tersebut; ia mengelak kejatuhan setelah memperoleh rebat dari Eksais Baginda ke atas bir yang hilang. Industri bir beransur-ansur berhenti menggunakan tong kayu besar selepas kemalangan tersebut. Kilang bir tersebut berpindah pada tahun 1921, dan Panggung Dominion kini tempat kilang bir tersebut dahulu didirikan. Meux & Co bubar pada tahun 1961.
