The Bank of America Tower is a highrise in downtown Phoenix, Arizona. The tower is the centerpiece of the Collier Center, a multi-use office and entertainment complex. The tower was completed in 2000 and serves as the state headquarters for Bank of America. It rises 360 feet (110 meters), topping out at 23 floors. It was designed in the postmodern style by Opus Architects and Engineers.

A Bank of America branch center, main lobby, and elevators to the upper floors are located on the second floor. Bank of America also occupies floors 14 - 24. There is no floor designated as 13. The tower is among other things, headquarters for Bank of America's Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico banking center administration.

In January, 2008, the tower was covered with a graphic of the Vince Lombardi Trophy in anticipation of Super Bowl XLII. The image was on the north face of the building overlooking Copper Square and spans 18 floors. Bank of America Tower joined Hyatt Regency Phoenix in Downtown Phoenix with their temporary football themed decor.
