[FIN] Valtion virastotalo on Turussa sijaitseva virastorakennus. Rakennus valmistui vuonna 1967 ja sen ovat suunnitelleet arkkitehdit Risto-Veikko Luukkonen ja Helmer Stenros. Se sijaitsee Aurajoen rannassa, Turun kaupunginteatterin ja Wäinö Aaltosen museon välissä. Virastotalossa on 10 kerrosta ja sen bruttopinta-ala on noin 28 000 neliömetriä. Suuressa rakennuksessa on kuparilevyistä tehtyjä pintoja hyvinkin paljon, jonka vuoksi se on saanut aikoinaan myös nimityksen kuparipannu. Rakennuksessa on suuri lounasravintola auki kaikille vierailijoille ja siitä on oikein kiva näkymä joelle.
