Xlendi Tower (Maltese: Torri tax-Xlendi) is a small watchtower near Xlendi Bay, within the limits of Munxar on the island of Gozo in Malta. The tower is one of the Lascaris towers and dates to 1650; it is currently undergoing restoration. It is the oldest of the four surviving watchtowers on Gozo, the three others being Dwejra Tower, Mġarr ix-Xini Tower and Isopu Tower. The earlier Marsalforn and Garzes and towers were destroyed in the 18th and 19th centuries, respectively.
