The Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) is an American futures and options exchange that was founded in 1848. It operated as an independent exchange for more than 150 years, before merging with its long-time rival the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) to form CME Group in 2007. It is now a designated contract market of the CME Group.

Since 1930 it has operated out of the Chicago Board of Trade Building, a landmark Art Deco skyscraper in the Chicago Loop.
