Southbank Tower (formerly South Bank Tower, and the King's Reach Tower until 2013) is a high-rise building on Upper Ground, Southwark, London. It was originally a thirty-storey structure 111 metres (364 ft) high and was completed in 1972, designed by the architect Richard Seifert and built by John Laing. In recent years, the tower has undergone extensive redevelopment and a height increase.

The tower is similar in design to Tower 42, which was designed by the same architect.
