Torre de guaita de Sallent, or Sallent Watchtower, is a medieval defensive structure located in Sallent, Bages comarca, Barcelona province, Catalonia, Spain, perched strategically to oversee the Llobregat River valley.

Dating to the 11th-12th century as part of Catalonia's frontier fortification network during the Reconquista against Muslim territories, this square tower with narrow arrow slits exemplifies early watchtower architecture for signaling threats across rugged terrain.

Recognized as a Cultural Asset of National Interest in both Catalan and Spanish heritage registers, its well-preserved stone form attracts history enthusiasts amid Sallent's mining heritage landscape.
