Alpha Tower is a Grade II listed office skyscraper in Birmingham, England. It was designed by the Birmingham-born architect George Marsh of Richard Seifert & Partners as the headquarters of the commercial television company ATV (Associated Television) and part of the company's production studio complex known as ATV Centre, an adjacent shorter tower was planned but was never built. ATV closed in 1982, after which the building became offices.
At 100 m (330 ft), as of 2023 it is the eighth-tallest building in Birmingham, and became the twelfth-tallest office building in Birmingham after 103 Colmore Row (108 m (354 ft)) was topped out in 2020.
