Delimara Tower (Maltese: Torri ta' Delimara), originally known as Torre della Limara, was a small watchtower on the Delimara Peninsula, in the limits of Marsaxlokk, Malta. It was built in 1659 as the tenth De Redin tower, and an artillery battery was later built nearby in 1793. Both the tower and the battery have been demolished.
