Το Βασιλικό Παλάτι και Φρούριο της Αυτής Μεγαλειότητας, πιο κοινώς γνωστό ως Πύργος του Λονδίνου, είναι ιστορικό κάστρο στη βόρεια όχθη του Τάμεση στο κεντρικό Λονδίνο, στην Αγγλία. Βρίσκεται μέσα στο Διαμέρισμα Τάουερ Άμλετς του Λονδίνου, χωριζόμενο από την αριστερή όχθη του Σίτι του Λονδίνου με τον ανοιχτό χώρο που είναι γνωστός ως Τάουερ Χιλ. Ιδρύθηκε προς το τέλος του 1066 ως μέρος της Νορμανδικής Κατάκτησης της Αγγλίας.
