Place Bonaventure is a large office complex in downtown Montreal, Quebec, Canada, adjacent to Gare Centrale. Major tenants are Société de transport de Montréal (headquarters), Fido, Corus Entertainment radio stations, banks and a few federal government departments. The building has a large rooftop hotel (Hilton Bonaventure). The building was built over the Canadian National Railway tracks leading to Gare Centrale.

Place Bonaventure is part of the Underground city. The building is linked to the Montreal Metro, to the AMT commuter train stations (Lucien-L'Allier and Gare Centrale), and to inter-city train service (VIA and Amtrak at Gare Centrale).
