One Washington Park is a high rise office building located on Washington Park at 1 Washington Street in Newark, New Jersey. Among the tallest buildings in the city, it is best known as the home of Rutgers Business School and Amazon's Audible.com.

One Washington Park was originally built by Verizon to serve as the local network operations center in 1983. Marc E. Berson's Fidelco Group purchased the building for $26.5 million in 2004 and renovated the building to class A office space that became available to for move-in in 2005. Rutgers University purchased the first 11 floors of the building from Fidelco for $31.5 million in 2006 and invested $51.5 million in renovating them before opening the new business school facility in 2009.

In July 2015, Newark Venture Partners, a venture fund aimed to raise $50 million to invest in a select group of start-up tech companies, all of which will be housed in a so-called "accelerator", in a joint effort with Audible, which would provide mentorship, and Rutgers, which would provide space.
