Tower of Song is a tribute album to Leonard Cohen, released in 1995 on A&M Records. It takes its name of a song by Cohen, that has been covered by Marianne Faithfull, Robert Forster, The Jesus and Mary Chain, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Martha Wainwright and Dax Riggs.

The album was savaged by many music critics, who pointed out that the album's glossy mainstream pop approach badly distorted the context of Cohen's music.
