University Club Tower is a condominium tower in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. At 446 feet, it is the third tallest building in Wisconsin and the tallest residential building. It is located in Milwaukee's East Town neighborhood adjacent to the Lake Michigan shoreline.

The tower as originally planned was designed by Santiago Calatrava was to have only 25 stories. That plan was cancelled because of concerns about parking and its potential to obstruct views of the lake. However, the project was revived in June 2002 and ground was broken two years later.

The tower is built on land owned by the University Club of Milwaukee. It is adjacent connected to the Club, and the tower's health center serves as the health center for club members.
