Plaza Rakyat, Mixed-use skyscraper complex in central Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Plaza Rakyat is a mixed-use skyscraper complex in central Kuala Lumpur with several interconnected towers. The development includes office space, residential apartments, hotel facilities, and retail shopping areas.

Construction started in 1992 but stopped during the 1997 Asian financial crisis, leaving the development incomplete for years. The government later canceled the original contract and transferred ownership to Kuala Lumpur's city authorities.

The site once held the Selangor Chinese Club, a gathering place that served the local Chinese community. This earlier building reflected architectural styles common to private clubs in the city during that period.

The site is fenced off behind a corrugated metal barrier and cannot be entered; the unfinished concrete frame is viewed from Jalan Pudu and Jalan Robertson. The Plaza Rakyat LRT station on the Ampang Line, opened in 1996, sits alongside but stays closed to the complex. A sales gallery built on Jalan Pudu in 2021 has remained shut.

The original 1996 plan included a 79-storey office tower meant to be the world's tallest reinforced concrete skyscraper, with a total height of 382 metres including a telecommunications mast. The Ampang Line station opened in 1996 for a complex that never rose above its base.
