Two Union Square is a skyscraper in Seattle, Washington. It is located on the southeast corner of the intersection of Union Street and Sixth Avenue, in the core of Seattle's business district. Construction on Two Union Square began in 1987 and was complete by 1989. The building, at a height of 740 feet (230 m) [222 metres], is the third tallest skyscraper in the Seattle skyline.

The Seattle-based architectural firm NBBJ (Floyd Naramore, William Bain, Clifton Brady and Perry Johanson) designed Two Union Square, which was dedicated on July 26, 1989.

Two Union Square is one of Seattle's most sought after business spaces[citation needed], with 56 floors, 1,126,428 sq ft (104,648.6 m²) of rentable space, and an underground concourse connecting to the Seattle Hilton Hotel and shopping at Rainier Square. The building is also adjacent to the Washington State Convention Center.

Also part of this complex is the 456ft (139m) tall One Union Square.
