The DLI (Daehan Life Insurance) 63 Building (63 빌딩) is a skyscraper on Yeouido Island, Seoul, South Korea. It is 3rd tallest in South Korea, 102nd worldwide, and a Korean icon among the skyscrapers. It is 249 meters (817 feet) high, overlooking the Han River. There is an observation deck on the top floor. There are officially 63 stories, but only 60 of these are above ground level. Construction was completed in 1985. At the time, it was the tallest building in Asia.

The ground floors house a large shopping area, an Imax Theater, and an aquarium. It is a popular place to go to see a good view of Seoul. The 63 Building was featured as a landmark in the Computer Game Simcity 3000 and SimCity 4.
