Cape Town Civic Centre, Municipal government building in Cape Town, South Africa

The Cape Town Civic Centre consists of two blocks: the low-rise Podium Block in front, holding the Council Chamber and the Mayor's Office, and the 26-storey Tower Block behind, 98 metres tall. The Tower Block is a long, narrow structure crossing Hertzog Boulevard, with the road's lanes passing directly underneath its central part between columns. It is the 11th tallest building in Cape Town.

The Civic Centre was completed in 1978 by the South African construction and mining services company Concor. A refurbishment by GVK-Siya Zama costing R28.8 million ran from 2011 to June 2012, covering cleaning, new skylights, re-waterproofing and repainting. In 2015 a mural of Nelson Mandela was installed on one tower column, followed by one of Desmond Tutu in 2017; both were replaced in 2022 by new murals by artist Linsey Levendall and Dreamfuel Media.

The two tower columns carry large window murals: Nelson Mandela's portrait went up in 2015 and Desmond Tutu's in 2017. In 2022 artist Linsey Levendall and Dreamfuel Media replaced them with new designs showing Table Mountain, Boulders Beach, the Bo Kaap and a King Protea, covering 448 windows over 12 floors.

The building is located on Hertzog Boulevard and connects directly to the MyCiTi rapid transit bus station, making public transport access straightforward. Visitors should note that the structure spans overhead creating wind effects, especially around the pedestrian passage underneath.

The gap under the Tower Block, where Hertzog Boulevard's lanes pass between the columns, acts as a wind tunnel with some of the strongest gusts along the corridor. These winds have at times endangered pedestrians and affected events such as the Cape Town Cycle Tour.
