One Fifth Avenue is a residential skyscraper in the Washington Square area of Greenwich Village in Manhattan, New York City, United States. It was designed by Harvey Wiley Corbett of the firm Helme & Corbett.

In 1926, developer Joseph G. Siegel leased the lot on the southeast corner of 8th Street and Fifth Avenue from Sailors' Snug Harbor. Construction began in 1926, and the building opened in 1927 as an apartment hotel with 2- and 3-room units. When first built, it was received with both acclaim and controversy, called "a 27-story apartment hotel, a thing of rare beauty"{{cite magazine|url=https://archive.org/details/variety88-1927-10/page/n105/|magazine=Variety|page=42|title=Greenwich Village|date=October 12, 1927|first=Lew|last=Ney}} and "a modern skyscraper in a neighborhood of brownstones".

It was converted to a co-op in 1976, and is "one of the Village's most desirable co-ops."{{cite magazine|url=https://nymag.com/realestate/features/70935/|date=January 26, 2011|title=Life Swap: What If You Left New York?|first=S. Jhoanna|last=Robledo|magazine=New York}}
