100 United Nations Plaza is a residential skyscraper at Turtle Bay in Midtown Manhattan, New York City. The 52-storey building has a height of 170 m (557 ft). It has 267 condominium units. The building, completed in 1986, was designed by Schuman, Lichtenstein, Claman & Efron and Der Scutt.

The brick-clad tower slab is setback from the street and rises vertically with balconies on the corners and mid-portions of the north and south facades, until the top eight floors, where its east and west facades taper shaply to form a top wedge. The balconies of these apartments protrude as horizontal "ribs" and extend around the corners of the slopes. The top triangle houses mechanical equipment. A landscaped plaza with fountain is located on the east side of the building.Entrance to 100 United Nations Plaza is through a garden plaza dramatically landscaped with handsome fountains.

Very prominent on the East Side skyline in Midtown until overshadowed by Trump World Tower, completed in 2001.
