The Ontario Tower is a luxury high-rise residential development in London's Docklands. It was built by the Ballymore construction company, as part of a wider scheme in New Providence Wharf to provide new executive housing to meet changing demand in the Docklands area. 'Ontario' was designed by the architects who created landmarks such as Chicago's Willis Tower. The Ontario Tower is a distinct landmark of the London Skyline with its blue LED rimmed elliptical top. The 29-storey project was completed in the Autumn of 2007, and was the tallest building in London solely designed for executive residential use, at 104 metres tall until Ballymore completed The Pan Peninsular just a shortdistance away on marsh wall.

It is expected to be joined by a much taller neighbour (Quebec Tower) directly next to it.

Carrara Marble was used in the majority of apartment bathrooms throughout the development; The Natural Stone Depot Ltd, of London, were contracted to carry out this work.

Ontrario Tower is a neighbour of the Radisson Edwardian Hotel. Hence, the residents of the tower can enjoy some of the hotel's facilities such as room service, business centre and spa. The hotel's gym and spa is located in the first floor of Ontario Tower.
