The Tower of Amfikleia is a late medieval tower at Amfikleia, in Phthiotis, central Greece.

occupied by the cemetery of the modern settlement.
The tower measures 8.5 metres (28 ft) by 10.5 metres (34 ft), making extensive use of spolia ashlar blocks from the acropolis for the first six courses of masonry at its base (corresponding to the ground floor) and then as quoins. In total, the tower survives to a height of about 8 metres (26 ft). The walls are 1.8 metres (5.9 ft) thick at its base, and thin about 20 centimetres (7.9 in) at each of the two surviving above-ground floors. The first floor is supported by ledges offset from the north and south walls, extending from the ground to about 2.5 metres (8.2 ft) in height.
The entrance was 3 metres (9.8 ft) above ground, at the level of the first floor, on the southern face of the tower near its eastern corner. The doorway, which survives in part, preserves sockets for a closing bar. The other faces of the tower feature slit windows.
