El Palau Reial i Fortalesa de Sa Majestat La Torre de Londres —Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress The Tower of London —, més conegut per la Torre de Londres , és un castell històric situat a la ribera nord del riu Tàmesi al centre de Londres, Anglaterra. Es troba dins del districte londinenc de Tower Hamlets, separat del límit nord de la ciutat per un espai obert conegut com a Tower Hill. Es va fundar cap a la fi de 1066 com a part de la conquesta normanda d'Anglaterra. La Torre Blanca, que dóna nom al castell sencer, va ser construït per Guillem el Conqueridor en 1078, convertint-se en símbol de l'opressió a Londres per la nova elit governant. Des d'almenys 1100, el castell va ser usat com a presó, encara que no era aquest el propòsit primari.

En conjunt, la Torre és un complex de diversos edificis situat dins de dos anells concèntrics de murs defensius i un fossat, el castell es va ampliar en diverses fases, sobretot sota el mandat de Ricard Cor de Lleó, Enric III i Eduard I en els segles xii i xiii. La disposició general de finals del segle xiii s'ha mantingut tot i l'activitat posterior.
