The Capital One Tower is a skyscraper located in Lake Charles, Louisiana and is the third-tallest building in the city.

The building was designed by Lloyd Jones Brewer Associates of Houston and constructed by Miner-Dederick of Houston and F. Miller and Sons of Lake Charles. Construction began in March 1981 with groundbreaking in January 1982. The building was opened in 1983 and stands 22 stories and 310' tall with 400,000 square feet (37,000 m2) of space. The cost was estimated at $45 million.

Capital One Tower is one of the dominant features of the skyline of downtown Lake Charles. The building was originally called the CM Tower, for Calcasieu Marine National Bank, then renamed the Hibernia tower after Hibernia purchased Cacasieu Marine. It was then changed to Capital One Tower after Capital One Bank acquired Hibernia National Bank in 2005.

The building sustained damage to its atrium and several upper floors during Hurricane Rita.
