Quayside Tower is a modern commercial building in Birmingham, England. It is situated on Broad Street, one of Birmingham's busiest streets.

Originally built in 1965 to a design by John Madin, it was redeveloped in 2003 to give it a more fashionable appearance. This resulted in a new facade, reception area and parking facilities as well as new roof feature.

It forms a prominent part of the Broad Street skyline which consists of many other highrise buildings.
