The Frost Bank Tower is a skyscraper in Downtown Austin, Texas, United States. The 33-floor building has a height of 515 ft (157 m). It was designed by Duda/Paine Architects and HKS, Inc. and constructed from November 2001 to January 2004 at a cost of US$137,000,000. It was the tallest building in Austin from 2004 to 2008. Frost National Bank is the building's main tenant.

The building starts with a rectangular shape on the ground that eventually becomes a square point in the crown. Its exterior facade is made of blue low-emissivity glass. The folded panes of the building step back to create a segmented pyramidal crown. Lighting covers the crown where a section of the building measuring 150 ft (46 m) lights up and sometimes changes colour for special occasions. At the main roof are four Frost Bank logo signs. The building also has an 11-level parking garage with spaces for 1,400 vehicles.
