The Triskelion is a fictional building used by S.H.I.E.L.D. appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

In the Ultimate Marvel universe, the Triskelion is the island headquarters of S.H.I.E.L.D. and formerly inhabited by the Ultimates. The Triskelion's architectural design was planned and layout by architect Frank Gehry. The Triskelion was originally designed by British architect Norman Foster and planned to have mobility like the Helicarrier, but never came to be due to monetary problems. The Triskelion was partially, but significantly, destroyed by the Liberators when its super-soldiers pushed and scuttled the S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier onto the facility, which the Scarlet Witch (who was present in Nick Fury's office) used her powers in saving only the first three floors of the building and everyone within them.

While in the process of repair, the Triskelion later experienced a massive prison break caused by the Green Goblin where he gathered Doctor Octopus, Electro, Sandman, and Kraven the Hunter to form the Ultimate Six.

During the Ultimatum storyline, the Triskelion was attacked by suicide-bomber duplicates of Multiple Man until Hank Pym sacrificed himself in stopping the clones. Shortly following the events of Ultimatum, the Triskelion was undergoing another stage of repairs and became the headquarters of the Ultimates' replacements, the Avengers.
