Garzes Tower (Maltese: Torri Garzes, Italian: Torre Garzes or Torre della Garza), also known as Saint Martin's Tower (Maltese: Torri ta' San Martin), was a watchtower built in Mġarr, Gozo by the Order of Saint John in 1605. It was named after Martin Garzez, the Grand Master who financed its construction, even though it was eventually built after his death during the Magistry of Alof de Wignacourt. The tower was demolished in the 19th century, some remains were reused for the building of a bridge, and the site was developed with a hotel.

Er diente als Vorbild der kurz darauf erbauten Wignacourt Towers und wird aufgrund seiner Entstehungszeit mitunter zu diesen Türmen gerechnet. Das Befestigungsbauwerk überwachte den Hafen von Mġarr auf der Insel Gozo. (de)

The tower was demolished in the 19th century, some remains were reused for the building of a bridge, and the site was developed with a hotel. It was built to the design of Vittorio Cassar. A number a coastal towers, built by Grandmaster Wignacourt, are traditionally attributed to Cassar and based on the Garzes tower. However this is probably based on speculations It is likely that Cassar's design of Garzes Tower was used, and adequately modified, to built the other towers due to their similarity in their military architecture.
