Chevron House is a skyscraper at Raffles Place, in the Central Business District of Singapore. The building is 33 storeys tall, a three-level basement, and stands at a height of 151 m (497 ft). It was built in 1993 in the late-modernist architectural style, with generous use of aluminium, glass and steel. The architects who designed it were Murphy/Jahn Inc Architects and Architects 61.

Chevron House was originally called Caltex House. To its left is Singapore Land Tower while to its right is Hitachi Tower, which shares the same 4-storey podium with it. The building was developed by CapitaLand, the real-estate company which owns many of the buildings in Singapore. In September 2007 it was acquired by Goldman Sachs for S$730 million, giving CapitaLand a profit of S$150.8 million.
