Ocean Financial Centre is a skyscraper at Raffles Place, in the Central Business District of Singapore. The 43-storey building will stand at 243 m (804 ft) in height. It has 850,000 sq ft of Grade A office space, including one of the largest floor plates in the Raffles Place area.

Ocean Financial Centre occupies the site of the former Ocean Building, which was built in 1974 and had to be demolished to make way for new skyscraper. The area has been in use since 1864. The original two-storey building was replaced by another in 1923.

Ocean Financial Centre is owned by Keppel Land International and was designed by the architectural firm of Pelli Clare Pelli Architects, whose track record includes the World Financial Centre in Beijing, International Finance Centre in Hong Kong, Mori Tower in Tokyo and Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur.
