The Baldwin Tower (in Bulgarian, Балдуинова кула; Balduinova kula) is a defensive tower of the Tsarevets fortress, in Veliko Tarnovo (Bulgaria). It is located next to the door Frenhisar, the south entrance of the enclosure. Its name comes from Balduino I of Constantinople, because the tradition places in her its death, of which was thrown to the river Yantra.

The current tower is a reconstruction by the architect Aleksandar Reshenov in 1930 and based on a medieval tower in the fortress of Cherven.
