The Scalpel is a commercial skyscraper in London, United Kingdom.[5] It is located at 52 Lime Street, on its corner with Leadenhall Street, in the City of London financial area. It is opposite the Lloyd's building and adjacent to the Willis Building. Completed in 2018, it is 190 m (620 ft) tall, with 38 storeys, and was designed by Kohn Pedersen Fox.[6]

The "Scalpel" name was originally a nickname but was subsequently designated as its official name, after it was coined by the Financial Times[7] due to the building's distinctive angular design. This follows a trend of nicknaming new buildings based upon their shape; for example, the nearby Leadenhall Building is also known as "The Cheesegrater".[8] The building has also been noted for its similarity to a "play" media button due to how it looks from south of the River Thames.[9]
