Marco Polo House is a large building at 346 Queenstown Road facing Battersea Park in the London Borough of Wandsworth.

It was originally home to British Satellite Broadcasting (BSB) television in the late 1980s. It shares its name with the Marco Polo satellites used by its first owner. Part of the building was also used by The Observer newspaper. When BSB merged with Sky to form BSkyB the new company retained the lease, and in 1993 it also became home to shopping channel QVC, whose studios and offices are based there.

The building was also used for the offices for another ill-fated broadcaster, ITV Digital.

Marco Polo House is split into two blocks, covering 157,357 sq.ft.
