Tun Mustapha Tower (Malay :Menara Tun Mustapha) is a 30-storey, 122-metre-tall ^{[1] [2]} glass tower in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. It was built in 1976 by Mori Building Company, a Japanese property development and management firm. The building was formerly named Yayasan Sabah Tower as it housed the Sabah Foundation (Yayasan Sabah), a state-sponsored foundation to promote education and economic development in the state. In 2001, the tower was renamed to honour Tun Datu Mustapha, a former Sabah chief minister and state governor.^{[ citation needed ]}

There is a revolving floor on the 18th floor, which slowly spins to give a complete view of the Likas Bay. It makes one 360 degree rotation per hour.^{[ citation needed ]}

On 20 April 1997, ^[3] urban climber Alain Robert successfully scaled the building, with government approval, for a fundraiser. He began climbing from the 16th floor and reached the top of the building in just five minutes. ^[4]
