Santa Maria delle Grazie Tower was a fortification on the island of Malta. It stood above the shore to the east of Grand Harbour, close to the present day town of Xghajra. The tower was built by the Knights of Malta in 1620 during the reign of Grand Master Fra Alof de Wignacourt, and the last of the Wignacourt towers to be built. The tower was demolished to clear the field of fire of the nearby Della Grazie Battery, construction of which began in 1888, by the British. Nothing of the original tower remains.
