Reginald's Tower in the Waterford city centre in County Waterford is a restored 12th century round tower, originally part of the town's defences and later used as a mint, a prison and a military store.

Currently, the Tower Museum has several exhibits and a section of the old wall is incoporated into Reginald's bar and restaurant.
