The Tour de Scalo or Tour de Pino (Corsican: Torra di Scalu) is a ruined Genoese tower located in the commune of Pino, Haute-Corse on the west coast of Corsica.

The tower 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.
