The Cheminée du Front-de-Seine is a chimney located in the 15th arrondissement, in the Front de Seine district of Paris. It is 130 metres high and the tallest structure in the district by 30 metres.

The chimney was designed by François Stahly and was built between 1970 and 1971. Its simple white form is unadorned except for aesthetic vents located in top of the structure.

It ventilates smoke from six boilers used to produce steam from low-sulfur fuel, which is distributed through underground pipes to the buildings of the district for central heating and as domestic hot water. It is overseen by the Parisian Company of District Heating (CPCU).

Its output is 590 tons of steam per hour. Ordinarily, only four boilers are used. The last two are only used during cold weather or to substitute for unavailable boilers in the CPCU network.
