The Samsung Tower Palace is a group of seven residential towers, lettered A to G, in Dogok-dong in the Gangnam District of Seoul, South Korea. The architecture firm was Samoo Architects & Engineers, and construction ran from 2002 to 2004. The towers range from 42 to 72 floors, and Towers A through D are collectively called Tower Palace One.

Tower G, which has three oval lobes joined together, rises 264 meters. It was the tallest building in Korea from 2004 until the Northeast Asia Trade Tower surpassed it in 2009.

The complex is luxury housing. Its features include card-key access at the entrances and elevators, key-code or fingerprint entry to each residence, home automation that can be controlled by mobile phone, and a helipad on every building.
