{{Coord|42.5946|N|72.5865|W|display=title|region:US-MA_type:landmark}}Poet's Seat Tower is a 1912 sandstone observation tower, located in Greenfield, Massachusetts. It was so named to honor a long tradition of poets being drawn to the spot, in particular, the local poet Frederick Goddard Tuckerman.^[1] By 1850, the location was referred to as "Poet's Seat" by Tuckerman in a surviving herbarium entry for November 10th of that year.^[2]

An earlier wooden tower was erected at the site on June 3, 1879.^[3] This first structure was built, along with a public drinking fountain and a road accessing the site, under the auspices of The Greenfield Rural Club.^[4]
