Tour Adria, also known as Tour Technip, is an office skyscraper in La Défense, in Courbevoie, the business district west of Paris. The architects Michel Andrault and Nicolas Ayoub of Conceptua designed it. Construction began in 1999 and was completed in 2002.

The tower has a triangular floor plan, stands 155 meters tall, has 40 floors and offers about 53,000 square meters of floor area. It is a twin of the nearby Tour Égée, which was built in 1999.

The main difference between the two is the cladding. Adria has a darker façade with vertical glass stripes, while Égée is white. The French engineering company Technip has used Adria as its group headquarters since its construction.
