One California is a skyscraper completed in 1969 in the Financial District of San Francisco, California. At 134 m (440 ft), and 32-storeys, it is the 28th-tallest building in the city. The architect who designed the building was Welton Becket Associates. The building was constructed on the site of the previously demolished Fife Building, and was one of the earliest skyscrapers constructed in the city. One California was one of three buildings, the other two being 555 California Street and the Crocker Building, that was featured in a 1970 Newsweek article widely thought to have coined the term "Manhattanization".^{[citation needed]}

When AirTouch was in operation, its headquarters were in One California.^[4] As of 2010, the US Bank logo occupies the signage, although the building itself is still referred to as One California. The actual bank branch is located next door at 101 California Street.^[5]
