Tower of Song: The Songs of Leonard Cohen is a tribute album to Leonard Cohen, released in 1995 on A&M Records. It takes its name from a song by Cohen which originally appeared on Cohen's album I'm Your Man. However the song "Tower of Song" does not actually appear on this tribute album.

Unlike the 1991 Cohen tribute album I'm Your Fan, that was recorded by a lineup of alternative rock groups like The House of Love and the Pixies, Tower of Song featured relatively well-known, mainstream artists like Elton John, Sting with the Chieftains, Billy Joel, Peter Gabriel and Bono of U2. Phil Collins turned down the chance to contribute because he was unavailable. The album was conceived by Cohen's manager, Kelley Lynch,

The album received a negative review from critic Roch Parisien at AllMusic, who called the album "a total train wreck".
