The Madou Plaza Tower is an office building at Place Madou 1 in Saint-Josse-ten-Noode, in the Brussels-Capital Region of Belgium. It was completed in 1965 to a design by Robert Goffaux, and Herpain Entreprise was the main contractor. It has 33 floors and 40,000 square meters of floor area. It is 120 meters tall, or 135 meters with its antenna. It was the tallest building in Belgium from 1965 to 1967.

The 33-story core was built in just over a month and has been compared to a smaller version of New York's MetLife Building.

A renovation from 2002 to 2006 raised the height from 112 to 120 meters and added 10,000 square meters of office space. It won a MIPIM award in 2006. The European Commission bought the building on March 13, 2006.
