World Trade Center New Orleans, located at 2 Canal Street in the Central Business District of New Orleans, Louisiana, is a 33-story, 407 feet (124 m)-tall skyscraper.

It was formerly known as the "World Trade Mart", replacing the International Trade Mart.

The top floor hosted a cocktail lounge called "Top of the Mart from the 1970s through 2001. The bar slowly rotated once per hour. After this a bar called "360" (as in degrees) opened in its place, which remained until Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and has since re-opened. The floor below held the Plimsol Club.
