The Albany Crown Tower (or simply the Albany Tower) is a planned development for the city of Manchester in England. It will be located on the site of the former government offices near Piccadilly Station (on Aytoun Street). It will be a 131 metre (430 foot) tall skyscraper with 44 floors and 237 residential units. Next to it will be a smaller office tower, at 49m (160ft).

The proposal for the building was submitted by Albany Assets Limited in 2005 and it was approved in May 2005. Construction may begin in 2007 and when completed it will be one of the tallest buildings in Manchester. It is expected to cost £83 million and was designed by Ian Simpson.
