Electric Tower is a historic skyscraper located in Buffalo, NY. It is the eighth tallest building in Buffalo. It stands 294 feet (90 m) and 13 stories tall. It was designed by James A. Johnson (architect) and completed in 1912. Inspired by the electric tower at the Buffalo Pan-American Exposition, the white terra-cotta clad was originally built as the Niagara Mohawk building and features an octagonal tower which steps back three times to terminate in a large lantern.

The decorative symbols featuring aspects of electricity production are considered precursors to subsequent art deco design.

Like One M & T Plaza, the spire of the tower is illuminated with different holiday colors at night throughout the year. Both buildings are illuminated blue and gold for the Buffalo Sabres during the National Hockey League playoffs.
