The Tour de la BCEAO is a high-rise complex in the Malian capital Bamako and the Malian seat of the Banque Centrale des Etats de l'Afrique de l'Ouest (BCEAO) , the central bank of several French-speaking nations in West Africa.

The BCEAO complex with gardens on the north bank of the Niger was built in 1994 in the style of French-influenced New Sudanese architecture and shows elements of the "Sudan-Sahel architecture" of the famous mosques of Djenné and Timbuktu . The height of the building is estimated to be around 70 meters, it has 20 floors and a basement with underground parking. It is the tallest structure in Mali.
