103 Colmore Row, formerly known as National Westminster House, is a building in Birmingham City Centre. Designed by John Madin in the brutalist style it was completed in October 1975 as offices and a banking hall for National Westminster Bank. The building affords some spectacular views across the City.

After Nat West Bank vacated the building it passed through several owners who were largely unable to lease it. In 2008 a plan by British Land to demolish the tower and replace it with a taller modern equivalent was approved. This plan never progressed and the building is now owned by the developer Sterling Property Ventures who recently successfully applied to have the building demolished and a new tower constructed.

Demolition of the building began in July 2015 with completion of the new £60 million 26 storey tower due in Summer 2018.
