National Bank House is a commercial skyscraper located in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, which comprises offices for the National Australia Bank.

Located along Bourke Street, the skyscraper was built in 1978, and opened as the global headquarters of the National Australia Bank (NAB). Whilst NAB have since moved their global head offices to 700 and 800 Bourke Street, both located in the Docklands precinct of Melbourne, the bank still remains a full tenant of National Bank House. In 2009, the building was fully refurbished.[3][2]

National Bank House reaches 161 metres in height, and comprises 40 storeys of offices. At the time of its completion in 1978, it was the third-tallest building in Melbourne; the commercial building is currently equal-24th tallest in the city.[1]
