The Wells Fargo Building is a skyscraper in Center City, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. It was constructed from 1927 to 1928 and designed by Edward P. Simon and Grant M. Simon. The building, with a floor area of 892,000 sq ft (83,000 sq m), has 29 floors and a height of 405 ft (123 m).

The facade of the steel-framed skyscraper incorporates brick and limestone. The first three floors make up the building's base. The recesses on the west and east sides of the building give the floorplates above the 4th level an H-shape. The top section has three small setbacks. In 1953, two-story penthouses were added on the back to house air conditioning equipment. On the street level are three arched entranceways lining broad Street. Decorating the base are seven carved medallions. In 1996, the building's facade and interiors were renovated and the mechanical systems were modernised.

The building was originally named the Fidelity-Philadelphia Trust Company Building. In 2002, it was renamed the Wachovia Building, and was renamed again to the Wells fargo Building in 2011. The building was added to the national Register of Historic Places on November 27, 1978.
