One US Bank Plaza (formerly One Mercantile Center) is a 35-story building in Downtown St. Louis, Missouri.

The 147.5 m building is topped by an antenna that raises the total building to 180.4 m. In the 1990s the Ambassador Building next was razed and became part of the building's plaza.

The building has a Structural Expressionism style. It was originally built for Mercantile Bancorporation which was bought out by Firstar in 1999 and then became U.S. Bancorp in 2001.
