One Metropolitan Square, also known as Met Square, is an office skyscraper completed in 1989, located in downtown St. Louis, Missouri. At 180.7 m (593 ft), it is the tallest building in the city and second tallest building in Missouri.

Major tenants include law firms Bryan Cave and Evans & Dixon, architecture firm Hellmuth, Obata and Kassabaum, which also designed the building, the Bi-State Development Agency and Greater St. Louis Inc.[4]
