Collins House is a residential skyscraper in Collins St Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

The project has been developed by both the Asian Pacific Group, Golden Age and designed by architectural firm Bates Smart. Launched in 2013, the project received approval by the then-Planning Minister Matthew Guy in February 2014 as part of a "Super Tuesday", whereby five skyscrapers had been approved. With a width of 11.8 metres (39 feet) at its narrowest, Collins House has been designed as one of the world's slimmest skyscrapers and has been referred to as a "pencil skyscraper" or "pencil tower". The development comprises approximately 300 residential apartments across 61 levels, and will reach a height of 190 metres (620 feet) — thus becoming one of the tallest buildings in Melbourne.

Construction on Collins House commenced in February 2016, and it was completed in 2019.
