La tour du Marzocco (en italien : Torre del Marzocco), est une ancienne tour de guet datant du XVe siècle située dans le port de Livourne, dans la province de Livourne en Toscane. Elle doit son nom à la présence du Marzocco, le lion symbole de la république de Florence ; le lion, représenté dans une girouette en bronze placée au sommet de la flèche, a été perdu en mer au XVIIIe siècle, lorsqu'il a été gravement frappé par la foudre.
