The Tower of Agnellu (Corsican: Torra d'Agnellu) is a Genoese tower on the French island of Corsica, located in the commune of Rogliano (Haute-Corse).

The tower was built at the end of the 16th century. It is one of a series of coastal defences constructed by the Republic of Genoa between 1530 and 1620 to stem the attacks by Barbary pirates.
