Complexe Guy-Favreau is a twelve storey building complex containing Canadian government offices built in 1984. It is located at 200 René Lévesque Boulevard in Ville-Marie, Montréal and extends over a six acre plot of land, formerly part of the Montreal Chinatown.[1] The complex is named after Guy Favreau, a former MP, federal cabinet minister and briefly Quebec Superior Court Justice.

The building complex came about as a joint venture between the federal government, who served as the head of the project, as well as private businesses, the City of Montreal, and the Desjardins Group.[2] The multifunctional complex is part of the Montreal underground city network and contains various Canadian governmental offices, rental properties, a housing cooperative, commercial units, a daycare facility, and a small park at its center.
