The Fred W. Parris Tower is a residential apartment highrise at 1800 South Broadway Street in Little Rock, Arkansas. Built in 1972, it is a fourteen-story skyscraper, with a steel frame clad in masonry, housing 253 residential units. It was designed by Wittenberg, Delony & Davidson for the city as public senior housing, and exemplifies a design principle espoused by Le Corbusier known as the "tower in the field", with a large landscaped green area surrounding the building.[2]

The apartments were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.[1]
