Riverside Centre is a heritage-listed office building at 123 Eagle Street, Brisbane CBD, City of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by Harry Seidler, and was built in 1986. Completed in 1986, it contains 40 storeys and rises 146 metres (479 ft) above ground. The building is owned by General Property Trust. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 1 December 2023.

The base of the building fronts the Brisbane River with a CityCat wharf, has many cafes and restaurants. The Riverwalk, which links the central business district to suburbs both up and down the Brisbane river was built between the water and the public space surrounding the skyscraper.

The open plaza and steps at the tower base is a recommended viewing point for the Riverfire celebrations. It formerly held the Brisbane Stock exchange. Norman Carlberg was the sculptor who collaborated with Seidler on works for the Riverside project.

The site was initially a cemetery. It was later occupied by low level buildings attached to wharves.

Riparian Plaza, the second major building in Brisbane designed by Seidler, was completed in 2005 and is located near the Riverside Centre. One One One Eagle Street is located between the two buildings.
