Tayside House was an office block development in the city centre area of Dundee. The building served as the headquarters for Tayside Regional Council and its successor organisation following local government reorganisation, Dundee City Council. Tayside Police leased part of the building, which formed the city centre police station.

A raised walkway across the busy A991 road was added during the 1980s,^[1] connecting the city centre and Tayside House with the Olympia Leisure Centre and completely separating pedestrian and vehicular traffic.

Following the decision to build replacement offices elsewhere and redevelop the area, initial work began on the demolition of Tayside House in 2011. The main demolition work was completed in July 2013.^[2]
