1 Cal Plaza, formerly One California Plaza, is a 176-meter skyscraper in the Bunker Hill District of downtown Los Angeles. Arthur Erickson Architects designed the towers, and the building was completed in 1985. It contains 1.05 million square feet of office space. It was named BOMA Building of the Year in 1989.

It forms the California Plaza project with Two California Plaza, which was completed in 1992. California Plaza was a ten-year, $1.2 billion project that began in 1983. It was originally planned with three office towers, but only two were completed.

The plaza houses the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art, the Colburn School of Performing Arts, the Los Angeles Omni Hotel and Angels Flight. The Yard is an outdoor venue with a built-in stage and amphitheater seating.
