Secretariat Building is a Le Corbusier-designed[1] building in Chandigarh completed in 1953 to house the offices of the Chief Secretary of the Indian state of East Punjab. Since the Punjab Reorganisation Act, 1966 split East Punjab into Haryana and Punjab, Chandigarh has been the capital of both states and the Secretariat Building is shared by their respective Chief Secretaries.

The Secretariat Building is one of three buildings and three monuments in the Chandigarh Capitol Complex,[2][3][4] which is one of 17 sites dubbed "The Architectural Work of Le Corbusier" inscribed in July 2016 as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.[5][6][7]
