One Dallas Center (formerly Patriot Tower) is a modernist skyscraper located in the City Center District of downtown Dallas, Texas (USA), completed in 1979. The building has 30 floors and rises 448 feet (137 meters). One Dallas Center is currently tied with the Adam's Mark Hotel North Tower as the 25th-tallest building in the city. The building was originally planned as part of a three-building complex designed by I.M. Pei & Partners, but only one tower was constructed.

One Dallas Center is now owned by Todd Interests and houses HKS Inc. and Greyhound HQ. The first 15 floors of the high rise are renovated office space, while the top 15 floors are luxury apartment homes scheduled to be delivered by October 2014. Streetlights Residential is overseeing development of the apartment homes while management is by ZRS Management.

One Dallas Centre was announced by developer Vince Carrozza in 1977 as the first phase of a US$200 million mixed-use development. Phase One included One Dallas Centre and the 500-space parking garage across Bryan Street. Two Dallas Centre, adjacent to the south of One Dallas Centre, was to include a 21-story, 500 room hotel above 30 floors of office space. The third phase would have consisted of a 400-unit luxury apartment complex across Harwood Street, on land now occupied by the Sheraton Dallas Hotel convention facility. All parts were to be connected by the expanded Dallas Pedestrian Network (Vincent Ponte, land planner for Dallas Centre, was also a city planning consultant for the pedestrian network). During construction in 1977 a crane fell 27 stories from the roof and crashed to the ground, killing a worker, injuring others, and punching several holes in the side of the tower.
