The Rembrandt Tower, or Rembrandttoren, is an office skyscraper in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It sits in the Watergraafsmeer district of Amsterdam-Oost at Amstelplein 1. It is 135 meters tall to its roof and reaches 150 meters with its antenna spire. It has 36 floors. Construction began in 1991 and finished in 1994.

The building is classified as Modernist. Its architects were Peter de Clercq Zubli and Tom van der Put of ZZDP Architecten, who worked with Skidmore, Owings and Merrill. The foundation required piles 56 meters long and 2 meters in diameter.

William F. McCarter was the original owner. Philips was headquartered in the tower until July 2001. The Rembrandt Tower forms a group of three with the Mondriaan Tower and the Breitner Tower.
