Fox Plaza is a 150 m (492 foot) high skyscraper with 34 floors in Century City, Los Angeles, California, a local landmark. Completed in 1987, the architects behind its design were Scott Johnson, Bill Fain and William L. Pereira. It is 20th Century Fox's headquarters.

The Fox Plaza is the actual building used for the Nakatomi Plaza, a fictional office building that is the setting of the first Die Hard movie starring Bruce Willis. The apparent destruction of the building in the film was accomplished by Richard Edlund using scale model pyrotechnic effects. The building's lobby was also featured in the opening scene of the Keanu Reeves film Speed.

Former U.S. President Ronald Reagan occupied a penthouse on the 34th floor for several years after leaving public office.

The Fox Plaza was the last building that Pereira worked on before his death in 1985.
