112 Tryon Plaza is a Convert|280|ft|m|0|abbr=on skyscraper in Charlotte, North Carolina. It was completed in 1926 and has 22 floors. It was the tallest building in North Carolina until it was passed by the Reynolds Building in Winston-Salem in 1929. It is currently the 21nd tallest building in the city. Located on "The Square" at the corner of Trade St. and Tryon St. adjacent to a pocket park, this building has a premiere location in Uptown Charlotte, also known as Charlotte center city. In 2006 it was sold for USD $12 million to the Simpson Organization.

In 2007, the building was converted to an office condominium and renamed to simply Tryon Plaza. Numerous improvements were made to the building by the developer including a complete facade renovation; a restoration of the original bank board room which features wood paneled walls, a ceiling with ornate plaster carvings, and a stained glass window; the addition of a multi-room conference center with a catering kitchen; the addition of a full gym facility with locker rooms, steam rooms, and a spa services room; and the addition of storage units on the lower level. Valet parking and a full service concierge have been added to complete the full service offering of this boutique office condominium.

The building was originally known as First National Bank. In December 2007, the building was designated as a local historic landmark by the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Historic Landmarks Commission.
