La torre del Coltellazzo o di Sant'Efisio è una torre costiera del golfo di Cagliari. Sorge sulla cima del promontorio che domina le rovine della città di Nora, nel territorio del comune di Pula.

La torre, edificata nei pressi dei resti dell'acropoli di Nora, entrò in funzione dal 1607, anche se l'esistenza di un precedente insediamento militare è attestato dagli inizi del XIV secolo. Jorge Aleo, nel 1680, ne fa menzione, chiamandola Fortalleza Coltellaz. Nel settecento l'edificio venne inglobato in un forte, eretto tra il 1722 e il 1728 su progetto dell'ingegnere piemontese Antonio Felice de Vincenti. Ulteriori lavori vennero attuati nel XIX secolo, quando la torre venne dotata di un faro.
