One Court Square, also known as the Citigroup Building, is a 50-story 200.5-metre (658 ft) office tower in Long Island City, Queens across the East River from Manhattan in New York City. It was completed in 1990 by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP for Citigroup. The tower is the tallest building in New York City (and State) outside of Manhattan, and the tallest building on Long Island.[1] WNYZ-LP (also known as Pulse 87) broadcasts from the top of this building. Additionally, the building will house the headquarters of cable company Altice USA in the near future.

It is not to be mistaken for the Citigroup Center in Manhattan, which is across the street from Citigroup's former main headquarters at 399 Park Avenue. Both buildings are accessible via subway stations on the IND Queens Boulevard Line (E and ​M trains); Citigroup Center is near Lexington Avenue–53rd Street, while One Court Square is right above Court Square–23rd Street.

The building is parodied in the video game Grand Theft Auto IV as the LC24 Tower.
