Five Ways Tower is a commercial building on Frederick Road, near to the Five Ways roundabout, in the Edgbaston area of Birmingham, England. The building is currently empty, as a result of suffering from Sick Building Syndrome.

The building's architect was Philip Bright of the Property Services Agency. Andy Foster described it as being similar to the work of James Stirling.
