Tour CBX, also known as Tour Dexia, is an office skyscraper in Supercomplex 2 of the La Défense business district, west of Paris. It stands near the circular boulevard on its northern side, and a pedestrian bridge links it to the esplanade of the district on the south.

The architects were Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates and Saubot Rouit Metge, and construction ran from 2002 to 2005. The tower is 142 meters (466 feet) tall, has 36 floors and offers about 40,000 square meters of floor area.

It is one of the few towers at La Défense with an inclined roof. Seen from the west, its shape resembles New York's Flatiron Building of 1902. Its name follows the codes used in the master plan of La Défense. It is an office building.
