Tour Granite is an office skyscraper currently under construction in La Défense, the high-rise business district situated west of Paris, France.

The skyscraper is due to be completed in 2007 and opened in 2008. It will be 183 m (600 ft) tall, which will make it the fourth-tallest skyscraper in La Défense after Tour Total, Tour Areva, and Tour T1 (under construction).

Tour Granite was ordered by the Société Générale banking group. It will be built as a complement to the Société Générale twin towers whose office space is now insufficient for the needs of the group. Like the twin towers, Tour Granite will also have a sharply inclined roof.
