Shanta Pinnacle (Bengali: শান্তা পিনাকল) is a 152.4 m (500 ft) 40-floor commercial skyscraper in Tejgaon I/A, Dhaka, Bangladesh and is the tallest building in both the city and the country. It's also the country's first 40-floor building, as well as the largest skyscraper by GFA. Shanta Pinnacle is a record-breaking skyscraper in South Asia, completed in 2026. It's the first skyscraper in South Asia to receive USGBC LEED v4 Platinum Certification under the Core and Shell rating system. Since its completion, it has been South Asia’s greenest skyscraper. Shanta Pinnacle received its LEED Platinum Pre-certification announcement around early August 2022, and later achieved full LEED Platinum Certification (earning 80 points) finalized on July 27, 2026.

Construction of the tower began in July 2019 and was topped out in 2025. It was handed over in 18 April, 2026. The building is owned by Shanta Holdings Limited and designed by Ehsan Khan. Shanta Pinnacle is the first skyscraper in Dhaka to undergo a wind tunnel test. It is a LEED Platinum-certified green building that brings together a high-performance double-glazed unitised facade, an intelligent Building Management System.

Notable companies with offices in the building include Japan Tobacco International, BRAC Bank, City Bank, Premier Bank and Haddad Brands.
