The Portomaso Business Tower ({{langx|mt|Torri ta' Portomaso}}, often referred to by locals as simply "Portomaso") is a high-rise office building in Malta. The tower stands in the Portomaso section of St. Julian's, a town just north of Malta's capital city, Valletta. Opened in 2001, the tower is {{convert|97.54|m|ft}} tall, with 23 floors of mixed commercial office space.
