The Civil Justice Centre is a building in Manchester, United Kingdom that is due for completion in 2007. Construction began in 2003.

It is located in the Spinningfields district to the east of Deansgate. The eastern side of the 80m (262ft) building faces the River Irwell, which marks the border between Manchester and Salford. When completed it will be amongst the tallest buildings in Manchester.

The entrance to the building opens onto Bridge Street.

It is designed by Australian architects Denton Corker Marshall. The building is notable for the 'fingers' at each end of the building that are non-aligned with each other, primarily vertically but, to a lesser extent, horizontally.
