Constructed in 1832 as a planned observatory, the Reform Tower remains an unfinished granite structure in Aberdeenshire.

The Reform Tower is an historic monument in Meethill, an area to the southwest of the town of Peterhead, Aberdeenshire. Dating to 1832, the tower is now a Category B listed building. It is constructed of squared granite in five stages, each narrowing slightly.

The tower was originally designed to be an observatory, but it was not completed. Its foundation stone was laid by George Mudie in August 1832, though the architect of the structure is not known.
