Żonqor Tower (Maltese: Torri taż-Żonqor; originally Torre di Zoncol) was a small coastal watchtower near Żonqor Point, Marsaskala, Malta. It was built in 1659 by the Order of Saint John as the eleventh of the De Redin towers, on or near a medieval watch post. The tower guarded the entrance to Marsaskala Bay together with Saint Thomas Tower. In 1915 the British demolished it to clear the line of fire for newer fortifications. Today a World War II–era pillbox stands on the site.
