A Torre de Ucanha localiza-se na freguesia de Ucanha, concelho de Tarouca, distrito de Viseu, em Portugal. Está classificada pelo IPPAR como Monumento Nacional desde 1910.

O erudito José Leite de Vasconcelos, nascido em Ucanha, aponta essencialmente três razões para a construção da ponte e da torre de Ucanha, lançadas sobre o rio Varosa, perto de Tarouca e a poucos quilómetros de Lamego: a de defesa, à entrada do couto monástico de Salzedas; a de ostentação senhorial, bem patente na alta torre; e a da cobrança fiscal, pelo valor económico que tal representaria para o mosteiro cisterciense erguido próximo.
