The Tour de Caldarello or the Tour de Figari (Corsican: Torra di Caldarellu) is a Genoese tower located in the commune of Pianotolli-Caldarello (Corse-du-Sud) on the southwest coast of the French island of Corsica. The tower sits at an elevation of 16 m on the north shore of the Baie de Figari.

The tower was built sometime between 1586 and 1617. It was one of a series of coastal defences built by the Republic of Genoa between 1530 and 1620 to stem the attacks by Barbary pirates.^[1]^[2] In 1995 the tower was listed as one of the official historical monuments of France.^[3]
