Fox Plaza is a 492 feet (150 m)-high skyscraper with 35 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. Owned by Orange County-based The Irvine Company, Fox Plaza is Twentieth Century Fox's official headquarters.

Former President of the United States Ronald Reagan occupied a penthouse on the 34th floor for several years after leaving public office. The 34th floor is now occupied by global management consulting firm ZS Associates.

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

In film

The building has featured in at least four major motion pictures released by Fox. Its most famous appearance was in the 1988 film Die Hard as the fictional Nakatomi Plaza in which its destruction was accomplished using a scale model. The plaza and a neighboring building are the main setting for rock & roll comedy Airheads, and the lobby is featured in the opening scene of Speed. Fox Plaza was also used as one of the buildings brought down at the end of Fight Club, and featured in Family Guy season 7, episode 10, "Fox-y Lady."

Fox Plaza is featured in the video game Midnight Club: Los Angeles. The building is also used for the corporate offices of Chimera Gas in the dark comedy Motorama and as the headquarters for Chicago's fictional Mr. Zalinsky's Auto Parts in the 1995 film Tommy Boy.
