The McKinley Tower Apartments are a historic apartment skyscraper at 337 East Fourth Street in Anchorage, Alaska. Constructed as a 14-story HUD 604 apartment building, it was Anchorage's first high-rise building. It was designed in 1950 by Donald N. McDonald of Seattle, who also designed the Inlet Towers at the same time. It was later bought by Neal MacKay and converted into a state office building after it had sat for years following damage in the 1964 Alaska earthquake, to designs by Manley & Mayer of Anchorage. The state moved out in 1982, and it sat condemned by the city for failing fire codes. Bought in 1998 by Marc Marlow, it was later remodeled and brought up to code.

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.
