Regions Plaza is a 17-story, 240,000 square-foot office building at 417 20th Street at the corner of 5th Avenue North in downtown Birmingham. It was constructed on the former site of the Tutwiler Hotel, which was demolished for its construction. The steel frame for the tower can be seen under construction in the 1976 feature film Stay Hungry.

It was dedicated in October 1976 and served as the headquarters of First Alabama Bank, which changed its name to Regions Bank in 1992.

On May 25, 2006, Regions announced a merger with AmSouth Bank. The following January it put the Regions Plaza building up for sale and made plans to consolidate headquarters operations into the neighboring Regions Center. The Regions Bank branch on the ground floor of the building is scheduled to close on July 12, 2007, with its employees and accounts moving with the headquarters.
