The Tour d'Alistro (Corsican: Torra d'Alistru) is a ruined Genoese tower located in the commune of Canale-di-Verde on the east coast of the French island of Corsica.
The tower was built in the second half of the 16th century. It was one of a series of coastal defences constructed by the Republic of Genoa between 1530 and 1620 to stem the attacks by Barbary pirates.
