The General Motors Building is a 50-story, 705 ft office tower at 767 Fifth Avenue, along Grand Army Plaza on the southeast corner of Central Park, in Manhattan, New York City.

It was designed in the International Style by Edward Durell Stone & Associates with Emery Roth & Sons and constructed between 1965 and 1968.

The GM Building was developed by London Merchant Securities and was half occupied by General Motors upon its opening. The building's facade is made of vertical piers of white Georgia marble, alternating with strips of glass. The building has about 1.7 million square feet of space, and the lobby originally contained a GM showroom, later an FAO Schwarz department store.
