Ryan Tower 45°31′00″N 075°52′00″W / 45.51667°N 75.86667°W / 45.51667; -75.86667 is a 228.9 metre (750 feet) tall guyed mast that was erected in 1968. Standing on the Clifford Slope of Camp Fortune in Chelsea, Quebec, its top is 1,900 feet (580 metres) above sea level, making it the highest point in the Ottawa/Gatineau area and an easy-to-spot landmark.

The tower originally stood at the foot of the Carp Ridge in the town of Hazeldean, Ontario,(currently Kanata) and was disassembled in sections and relocated to its current location for superior coverage.

Today it stands as the 15th tallest guyed structure in Canada, providing a large portion of the Ottawa Valley's broadcast television and radio signals.
