The Bank of Canada Building is the head office of the Bank of Canada, located in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Built from 1937-1938 by architect S.G. Davenport of Montreal and completed by the Toronto firm of Marani, Lawson and Morris, it replaced the Victoria Building (Ottawa) to the east of this building on Wellington Street.

Plans for additions in the 1960s were delayed and commenced in 1972. The glass structure behind the original 1937 structure was completed in 1979 by the firm Marani Rounthwaite & Dick (successor to Marani, Lawson and Morris) and Arthur Erickson.
