One Queensbridge (or Crown Queensbridge) is an approved mixed–used supertall skyscraper to be located in the Southbank precinct of Melbourne, Australia. When built, the skyscraper will become the tallest building in Melbourne, surpassing the height of Australia 108, and the tallest building in Australia, eclipsing the height of Q1. In addition to being the tallest, the development is one of the biggest single–building projects in Australia, encompassing 300,376 square metres (3,233,220 square feet) of floor area.

Developed by Crown Limited and the Schiavello Group, the $1.75 billion skyscraper will reach 323.6 metres (1,062 feet) in height, and comprise a six–star hotel of 388 rooms, in conjunction with 708 residential apartments, over 90 levels. Additionally, a footbridge will link the project to the Crown Casino and Entertainment Complex, across Queensbridge Street. Construction is expected to commence in 2018, and it is estimated to be completed in five to six years.

One Queensbridge will be built on the amalgamated site 1–29 Queensbridge Street, in the Southbank precinct of Melbourne. The site, with an area of approximately 5,059 square metres (54,455 square feet), is adjacent on either side to Freshwater Place, a 205 metres (673 feet) tall residential skyscraper completed in 2005, and Prima Pearl, a 254 metres (833 feet) tall residential skyscraper completed in 2014. Directly across from the Queensbridge site, is Crown Melbourne.

The subject site is currently occupied by four buildings, of commercial use and each between three to six levels in height, at the addresses of 1–7, 9–15, 17–23, and 25–29 Queensbridge Street. Prior to the acquisition of the sites, 25-29 Queensbridge Street was subject to plans for a 71–storey residential building, proposed in 2012. Named The Falls, the skyscraper would have reached a height of 237 metres (778 feet) and comprise over 500 apartments. Despite its approval in August 2012, the skyscraper did not proceed to construction.
