Édifice André-Laurendeau, Government building in La Cité-Limoilou, Canada.

The Édifice André-Laurendeau is a substantial government building featuring Beaux-Arts architectural details located within Quebec City's Parliament precinct. The structure houses administrative offices and legislative spaces that serve the provincial government.

The Édifice André-Laurendeau was built between 1935 and 1937 to designs by the architects Lacroix, Drouin and Bergeron, as a Beaux-Arts office tower on rue des Parlementaires. In 1966, after a fire destroyed Bois de Coulonge, the office of the lieutenant governor of Quebec moved into a suite of reception rooms and offices in the building. In 1980 it was named after the journalist and politician André Laurendeau.

The structure demonstrates the architectural evolution of Quebec's government institutions through its combination of traditional and modern design elements.

The building is not open to the public; the viceregal suite is a working office, so visits are limited to viewing the Beaux-Arts exterior at 1050 rue des Parlementaires. The suite hosts swearing-in ceremonies for Cabinet ministers and royal assent, and the lieutenant governor receives the premier there.
