Watkin's Tower var et delvist færdigt jern gittertårn i Wembley Park, London, England. Dets konstruktion var et ambitiøst projekt for at skabe en 358 meter høj besøgsattraktion i Wembley Park nord for byen, ledet af jernbaneentreprenøren Sir Edward Watkin. Markedsført som "Den Store Tårn i London", var det designet til at overgå højden af Eiffeltårnet i Paris, og det var en del af Wembley Parks fremkomst som et rekreativt sted. Tårnet blev aldrig færdigt og blev revet ned i 1907. Stedet for tårnet er nu besat af det engelske nationale fodboldstadion, Wembley Stadium.
Talrige navne og kaldenavne blev givet til tårnet under dets planlægning, konstruktion og arv. Disse omfatter Watkin's Tower, Watkin's Folly, Wembley Park Tower, Wembley Tower, Metropolitan Tower og London Stump.
