Telus Plaza is an office complex in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada that was completed in 1972 (as the Alberta Government Telephones (AGT) buildings). The twin buildings are Telus Plaza North and Telus Plaza South. The namesake tenant is the Telus corporation.

Telus Plaza South, at a cost of C$22 million, stood as Edmonton's tallest building until Manulife Place was completed in 1981. It is 134.4 meters (34 storeys) tall.

Telus Plaza North is 90 meters tall (20 storeys, 296 feet) and was completed in 1969. It contains retail space at the ground level and via Edmonton Pedway system to the Edmonton LRT.

Since 2000, the complex has undergone significant refurbishment to the lower retail levels improving the tenant facilities. However the office space in both towers is still sub-standard and woefully out of date in both spacial planning, environmental systems and employee ergonomics.POV-statement|date=April 2008

Prior to the construction of the AGT buildings this site was the home of the main branch of the Edmonton Public Library which stood there from 1923 to 1969.

The south tower of TELUS Plaza has recently been renamed TELUS House.
