WOR TV Tower was a 760 foot (231.65 metre) tall lattice tower used for FM- and TV-broadcasting at North Bergen, New Jersey, USA. The 420 ton tower was built in 1949. At the time of its construction, it was the tenth tallest man-made structure in the world.

On November 8, 1956, the top of the tower was hit by a small aircraft, which knocked off the top and killed six people. Afterwards the tower was dismantled.
