The Bandra Kurla Complex is a planned commercial complex in the city of Mumbai, India. According to MMRDA, the complex is the first of a series of "growth centres" created to "arrest further concentration" of offices and commercial activities in South Mumbai. It is expected to de-congest southern Mumbai and seed new areas of planned commercial real estate in the metropolitan region.

The complex was built on marshy land on the north side of Mahim Creek and is bound by Kurla in the east and Bandra in the west. Santacruz lies to its North. Airport is located few kilometres to the north, allowing for a quick commute between the airport and the complex.

BKC houses a number of commercial buildings including Jammu & Kashmir Bank National Business Centre, , SEBI, NABARD Head Office, IL&FS, Amazon.com, Asian Heart Institute, Dow Chemicals, ICICI Bank, Citibank, Dena Bank, Bank of Baroda, State Bank of India, Bank of India, Kotak Mahindra Bank, Bharat Diamond Bourse, Unit Trust of India, Dhirubhai Ambani International School, American School of Bombay & Fortune 500. It also is home to the Mumbai Cricket Association's cricket ground and the United States Mumbai Consulate.
