The Tour de Galéria (Template:Lang-co) is a ruined Genoese tower located in the commune of Galéria (Haute-Corse) on the west coast of Cap Corse.

The tower 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] The tower was built between 1551 and 1573.^[2] It is included in a list compiled by the Genoese authorities in 1617 that records that the tower was guarded by a chief and two soldiers paid by Calvi.^[3]

In 1994 the tower was listed as one of the official historical monuments of France.^[2]
