Olympia Tower, Architectural heritage monument in Milbertshofen-Am Hart, Munich, Germany.

The Olympia Tower is an 88-metre, 19-storey high-rise at Helene-Mayer-Ring 4, on the corner of Lerchenauer Straße in the Am Riesenfeld district, northwest of Brundageplatz. Günter Behnisch designed it, and it was built from 1970 to 1972 as part of the original Olympic Village ensemble. It is Munich's tallest residential building and the city's eighth-tallest structure overall.

Designed by Günter Behnisch, the tower was built from 1970 to 1972 as part of Munich's Olympic village for the 1972 Summer Games. It first housed the IOC administration headquarters, later served BMW as an IT site, and since 2010 has been a residential building with 320 units. It is protected as part of the original Olympic village ensemble (E-1-62-000-70).

The tower's name comes from the 1972 Munich Olympics; it first housed the IOC administration before BMW used it as an IT site. Since 2010 it has been a residential building with 320 units, and it is the tallest residential high-rise in Munich.
