Crowley Milner and Company, generally referred to as Crowley's, was a department store chain that was founded in Detroit, Michigan in the early 1900s. The store maintained a flagship location, corporate office and warehouse complex in downtown Detroit, in direct competition with the Hudson's chain. Crowley's and Hudson's were both noted for their lavish annual Christmas displays. Faced with a decline in retail traffic in downtown Detroit, Crowley's closed its downtown location in July of 1977, the firm did open and maintain a store in Detroit's New Center area that remained open until the chain's demise.

In 1995, the chain acquired Steinbach. Crowley's went out of business in 1999. Three mall-based stores were bought by discount chain Value City. These three stores were converted to "Crowley's Value City" in 1999; they have since dropped the Crowley's name from signage, and now operate as regular Value City locations.
