The Lawn is a mid-twentieth-century low-rise building located on the outskirts of Old Harlow, to the east of the town of Harlow, Essex, England.

The building is noted as being the first residential tower block in the UK, as well as being the location of its first pedestrian precinct. The structure was completed in 1951 to coincide with the Festival of Britain. It was designated a Grade II listed building in 1998.
