Belgrade Tower (Serbian: Кула Београд/Kula Beograd), officially known as Kula Belgrade, is a 168-metre mixed-use skyscraper under construction in the ambitious Belgrade Waterfront project in Savamala, Belgrade. It has been promoted as "the beacon of the entire master-planned community."

Situated in a prime location at the bank of the Sava River, Kula Belgrade will offer a waterfront lifestyle. Intended as a "new symbol of the Serbian capital," the developers aimed to integrate Belgrade’s traditional architecture in a modern development. The tower will have a direct approach to a waterfront promenade, located in close proximity to Belgrade Fortress. It will be connected with the old city through a public plaza.

The architects were inspired by the nearby river when planning the exterior appearance. Aside from the Avala telecommunications tower, this will be the tallest structure in Belgrade, including a 125-room hotel in the first nine floors, and 220 luxury apartments in floors 14 through 39. St. Regis hotel guests and residents of the apartments will have access to a swimming pool, gym, a relaxation lounge and an observation deck at the top of the tower.
