The TNT Towers are a pair of twin buildings in Redfern, Sydney, Australia. Construction commenced in 1972, with work completed in 1975 as the headquarters for TNT. In September 2002, the buildings were sold by TNT to Kimberley Securities.

In 2004, the New South Wales Police Force took a lease on seven floors. In 2016, planning approval was granted to redevelop both towers for residential use. The existing 12 storey towers had an additional six storeys added.
