Tour CBX is an office skyscraper located in La Défense business district situated west of Paris, France.

Built from 2002 to 2005, the tower is 142 meter-tall. The tower is built nearby the La Défense circular boulevard on its Northern side, and a pedestrian bridge is connecting it to the district's esplanade on the Southern side. The CBX tower is also one of the few towers in La Défense having an inclined roof.

When we look at the tower from the West, its shape recalls the one of the Flatiron Building built in 1902 in New York City.
