The State Bank Tower is a high-rise building in the capital city of Mauritius, Port Louis. The 16 storey tower contrary to popular belief, is not the tallest building in Port Louis. It is the third tallest building and only steel frame skeleton high-rise on the island.

It was designed by Campbell Reith Hill. In February 1994, it was damaged by cyclone Hollanda which hit Mauritius with windspeeds of over 200km/h when the building's construction tower crane smashed and tore on the high-rise. The 82m tall tower, hosting mostly offices, was finally inaugurated in 1995.
