Le 700 de La Gauchetière (previously known as Tour Bell Canada) is a skyscraper in downtown Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Le 700 and its twin tower, Tour de la Banque Nationale, are collectively known as Complexe Maisonneuve, and the two towers share an underground base six floors deep. It is 28 stories, and 128 metres (420 ft) tall. It was designed by American architect Sylvia Gottwald-Thapar and constructed in 1983. It was built in the modernist architectural style, and along with Tour de la Banque Nationale, were the only all-steel structures built in Montreal since the 1960s. Tour Bell Canada is located at 700 De la Gauchetière Street West opposite Victoria Square, and is linked to Montreal's Underground City and Square-Victoria station on the Montreal Metro.

The tower was home to the headquarters of Bell Canada Enterprises, and is currently home to offices of actuarial company, Aon Corporation.
