Queensbridge Tower (or Queensbridge Hotel and Crown Queensbridge) is a proposed supertall skyscraper to be located in the Southbank precinct of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The project was first proposed in 2011 by developer Schiavello Group in conjunction with Bates Smart architectural firm. Initially, the building was to rise 276 metres, and contain 71 levels.〔(Queensbridge Tower - The Skyscraper Center ). ''Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat''.

The height of the project was increased to 308 metres, and would now comprise 84 levels.〔Dragomir, Laurence. (27 October 2011). ("Melbourne set to join the 300 club" ) ''UrbanMelbourne.info''.
