The Citigroup Centre is a skyscraper located in the Canary Wharf development in the London Docklands. The building, whose address is 25 Canada Square, serves as the British headquarters for Citigroup, the largest financial services firm in the world, based in the United States of America.

The tower was designed by César Pelli & Associates. Construction began in 1998 and was completed in 2001. There are 45 floors in the 200 m tower, the joint 2nd tallest in the United Kingdom. Standing alongside the Citigroup Centre are One Canada Square (known popularly as Canary Wharf); and the HSBC Tower, which houses the international headquarters of HSBC Holdings plc.
