The Willis Building is a commercial skyscraper at 51 Lime Street in the City of London. Designed by Norman Foster and developed by British Land, it stands opposite the Lloyd's building and rises to 125 metres (410 ft), with a tiered, stepped profile. The building was completed in 2008.

Most of the office accommodation was pre-let to the insurance broker Willis Group (now Willis Towers Watson). The building provides around 50,107 m2 (539,347 sq ft) gross floor area, of which approximately 475,000 square feet (44,129 m2) was let to Willis.
