The Casablanca Clock Tower (Arabic: برج الساعة بالدار البيضاء, French: Tour de l'horloge de Casablanca) is a clock tower in Casablanca, Morocco. Located in United Nations Square, the tower is a 1993 reproduction of one of the oldest French-built structures in the city. The original tower was built in 1909 by the French commander Charles Martial Joseph Dessigny, and designed by Le Capitaine du Génie Bouillot, as an identical copy of one he had built in Aïn Séfra when stationed there previously.
It was demolished May 1948. The current tower is an almost identical copy rebuilt nearby in 1993.
